  • I had a similar case.
    My minipc has a microSD card slot and I figured if it could be done for a RPI, why not for a mini PC? :P

    After a few months I bought a new m2nvme but I didn’t want to start from scratch (maybe I should’ve looked into nix?)
    So what I did was sudo dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/sdc bs=1024k status=progress
    And that worked perfectly!

    Things to note:

    • both drives need to be unmounted, so you need a live OS or another machine.
    • The new drive will have the same exact partitions, which means the same size, so you need to expand them after the copy.
    • PS: this was for a drive with ext4 partitions, but in theory dd works with the bytes so it shouldn’t be an issue what fs you use.

  • I love playing Dwar Fortress, I’ve spent hours and hours in there.
    The game is free from the developera site, the download is only 15MB.
    If you want to support them you can buy it in steam, the listed requirements is 500MB of storage, I assume since this version has a tile set.

    I’ve also put so far 400 hours in oxygen not included, I think it uses around 2GB of storage.

    And to me, any monster hunter game its worth its price, I’ve bought each game and played it for minimum 200 hours each, I think I reached 500 in on of them.
    Tho the newer ones are pretty heavy for their respective platforms. Also triple-A game price.
