Upgrading `greenway` (`Linux Mint 22.1`)

Updated: 23 Mar, 2025

Partitioning @ greenbee (in the past):

/dev/sda1 /boot/efi
/dev/sda2 /
/dev/sda2 swap
/dev/sda4 /home  # <- do not format!

Partitioning @ greenway (before Mint 22.1):

/dev/nvme1n1p2  /
/dev/nvme0n1p2  /mnt/greenlight  # <- do not format!
/dev/nvme0n1p1  /boot/efi
/dev/nvme1n1p3  /home  # <- do not format!
