Next week Iβll switch from an Intel iMac to a Mac mini M2. Iβm a bit torn over using Migration Assistant. It would be convenient but starting afresh might feel kinda good. Only downside is losing a ton of preferences and other associated items and probably having to tweak every single app I have (152 in my Applications folder). Hmm.
Because of 2 different CPU architectures I lean against using Migration Assistant.
