Yeah, you could copy over .trinity, but you'd normally do that before loging in to a user the first time. It's actually probably faster to just: 1) re-install debian ^ (with a dummy user if it forces you to create one during the install) 2) copy the entire /home/{username} from your desktop 3) create {username} with the same name/group (and UID/GID) as the desktop 4) re-install TDE You can change the order as long as you don't login with the {username} before copying /home... Well, or, you can just delete {username} on the laptop and then do 2) and 3), which is faster still...
