Issues & Assistance
1

Hello, relatively new user to Linux and would like to know how user are reinstalling or distro hoping without manually reinstalling all packages config files? I’ve synced my dot files to a git repository but would like advise on how to also do packages…

I’m switching from a B650M MOBO with a 7500F CPU to a B650i 7700 CPU

Thanks in advance

How about:

sudo pacman -Qqe > packages.list
sudo pacman -S $(cat packages.list)
