I'm planning to hop to a different system soon and want to make sure I don't miss any important files or configurations. Are there specific directories or files I should look into? Any tips for making the transition smoother?

Definitely check your home directory for personal files. You can also dive into `/etc` for system configuration files and maybe `/opt` for some app-related files. Just keep in mind that anything outside of your home directory likely isn’t yours, so you might not need to worry about those.
If you’re hopping, there are a few key places to check. I’d recommend backing up your:
- Installed packages list
- `~ -a` (which includes personal files and app data)
- `/opt/` (usually contains add-ons for apps)
- Scripts for automation can be super helpful, especially for future hops. For instance, you might want to set up an AppImages folder and download the necessary executables there. Also, don’t forget your wallpapers! Just remember to adapt these methods according to your needs since what works for others might not suit you.
