I let Discover handle updating to Fedora 42 and got a kernel panic error, so I backed up /home/ and did a fresh install of Fedora 42.
I started my restoration by nuking /home/ with sudo rm -R /home/ and then copied everything over via Dolphin as stuff was slowly torn asunder as parts unloaded from RAM. Everything seems intact so far…


To actually answer, I fucked up by running
sudo rclonefirst to copy everything and it messed with permissions, so I nuked it and copied with dolphin.I was just being lazy.
