Funnily enough, when I upgraded from a SATA SSD to an NVME, I didn’t have to reinstall anything. Instead I just moved the LVM LVs to the NVME and rewrote the boot config. Just booted up from the existing installation without having to install anything.
Of course, tune2fs reports the right age for the filesystem:
# tune2fs -l /dev/mapper/VolGroupSSD-ssdvol | grep createdFilesystem created: Thu Jun 1610:33:492022 << This used to be the root fs, inside the SATA SSD
# tune2fs -l /dev/mapper/VolGroupSAT-satvol | grep createdFilesystem created: Mon Nov 1414:13:492022 << When I bought the NVME and created a new VG just for the SATA drive

See, that’s the feeling Ubuntu/Fedora users had when hearing how Arch would solve all their inexistant problems.
The bottom line is, there are a lot of Linux distros, most of them are great, so if you’re happy with your choice then so be it!
