Hi guys,
I was wondering if it's possible to basically clone everything from my current system on an external HDD? And I do mean everything? Browser setting, thunderbird settings, programs, stuff on the HDD, stuff on desktop... Everything? Create a carbon copy and then import it to a fresh system and have everything be the same? (-:

I do it often using the Clone option of Timeshift - just include your Home folder on the "Advanced Options" tab. Timeshift takes care of Grub and fstab as part of the clone process. You can clone to any Ext4 partition, as long as there's enough space.
I only ever install one version of a Linux OS, I clone that install to my other PCs using Timeshift.
