I switched to Immich at the weekend. ... Works so incredibly well I'm actually kinda shocked.
I used Immich for my software.
Parent context: I'm curious, what AI processing are you doing on the images? Reply: Immich has some built in ML tools like face recognition, I'm guessing that
Parent context: That's really unfortunate... I wanted to present my ppen source portfolio photography software that is targeted to photographers on which I have been working since 2018... (So NOT the vibe coding thing we see popping left and right). An alternative to Pixeset, Immich etc... I guess I missed the "window of opportunity." :( Reply: It's unfortunate, but we're getting 2 or 3 projects/day trying to promote themselves and there's just not room on the subreddit for that :(

- Creates exact 'picture perfect' copies
- Supports direct disk-to-disk cloning

Cons

- Requires booting from a USB drive

Clonezilla. Create a bootable flash drive containing it. Do a direct disk to disk clone.
I have used Clonezilla for this in the past, works fine, supports any hardware.
Clonezilla is also very good, but can be overwhelming if you aren't use to booting from USB and working in a terminal.
Clonezilla or Macrium Reflect can clone all the data from your old drive to the new one.
Whenever I switch PCs or need to reinstall I usually uninstall my games and apps that take up allot of storage, use an imaging software like clonezilla to take a snapshot then install that image to a VM.
