I am using Mint 19 and I have a 250gb SSD dual boot but the windows install has corrupted and since I don't use it anyway I am trying to set up a 120gb SSD as a Linux only system.
I was able to do this and it booted fine (after a boot repair!) but for reasons I don't understand, although Timeshift restored all the programs from my 250gb drive it did not restore the settings, configurations and customizations in the programs e.g. my Thunderbird accounts, Firefox settings, etc.,not even my desktop screen settings? I tried re-installing Mint and restoring again but same problem. I even tried setting up the 120gb drive as a dual boot (is was, and worked, previously) but same problem with Timeshift. I have restored from Timeshift many times very successfully and this is the first time this has happened.
Any ideas anyone, please!
