   Whatever works for you, of course. My response to similar situations has   
   been to move or copy the entire system to the new hardware. That way it   
   works the same as the old setup. If you only move /home then all the   
   state and configuration that lives outside /home[1] gets left behind and   
   your computer doesn’t work the same any more.   
      
   [1] e.g. users, groups, the set of installed packages, crontabs,   
       networking configuration, host keys, PAM config, to name but a few.
