From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Is this mostly for fileserving or apps? If you’re using it as a Fileserver share the relevant parts of the ssd while you rsync all of it over to help ease downtime.
You can also install the nvme through a virtual machine and pass /dev/nvme_whatever to the vm. Then rsync everything over using ssh then reboot the whole machine using the nvme drive for the os (make sure to use UEFI for the vm on kvm).
For apps kinda the same vm deal leave the ssd up and configure the nvme install as needed then copy whatever data you need over before rebooting.
It’s more convoluted to do it that way but it will reduce downtime
It's for apps. I have a Lemmy server and then a few discord bots that play music for a music community that my wife is an admin for.
I honestly might just need to schedule downtime on a day that they don't have an event on. That's the main thing that I want up all the time.
That is probably the best option since I don’t think lemmy has the ability to work as a cluster unfortunately
