Hello all,

I’m having some issues that probably stem from lack of education on computers, so if some kind soles out there can give me some assistance I’d very much appreciate it.

My immediate goal is to take all my torrent data from my MacBook qbittorrent (latest version) to my old laptop that I just loaded ElementaryOS on. This way I can have my files seeding at all times instead of when I have my mac up and running. I have all the actual media on a external SSD so I don’t have to or want to redownload all the torrents on the Elementary pc.

I’ve done some basic reading but all the articles and youtube vids I see are just migrating from one windows to another windows machine. Duplicating the data in the app data and drag and dropping it. I’ve even seen the recommendation to have the same version of qbittorrent to make the swap easy. Now my under educated mind is confused on going from Mac to Linux since its a completely different OS and therefore a different “version” of qbit. I imagine its possible but I’m feeling out of my depth.

I’d really love if someone can point me in the right direction if they can.

      Goid luck!!

      That’s the process I’ve used when switching machines for seeding, and it works great, just takes time for it to recheck all the files.
