How to clone a Big Sur (APFS) and Linux dual boot system to bigger hard drive

hi,

I am running a dual boot mac OS and Linux system (not using bootcamp) and want to migrate to a new hdd with additional room preferably for a native windows install too.

I found a few articles on to do this for a dual boot mac/ Bootcamp (windows) setup, but nothing on my particular scenario.

I'm not very comfortable toying around with Linux, I've had instances where due to a grub screw up I had to reinstall the whole system as an easier and faster way to get a linux box running vs. troubleshooting and fixing the boot loader :(

hence, I would also request input on if I am able to clone the hard disk to a bigger one, would it automagically work once swapped in for the previous hard drive, or would there be additional tweaking required to get it to boot.

thanks
