Some years ago, I make the mistake of doing a single partition for the system (I'm using EndeavourOS). Now I have a new disk, and I want to move the OS there, but not /home, which I want to stay in the old drive. How can I do it?

In fact the new disk has the double size tham the old one. Could I use dd and then gparted to achieve this?

yes but I suggest running simulation first on a virtual machine or at least take a backup first
