Wouldn't it be easier to clone your partition to another SSD but have it already be the full SSD size? I remember looking into something like that and cloning looked easier, but I was looking through the windows side, Linux probably has various ways to do it
I moved the home directory to the empty SSD, but still needed to resize the root partition in place. Wasn't difficult actually, but for some reason it errored on me the first time, the second time I could just do it in place without even rebooting.
