All the countless hours spent on the linux#Linux Desktop Migration Tool are finally paying off! My wife got a new laptop yesterday. I installed fedora#Fedora#Silverblue on it, created a user account, connected it to the home network, and left the migration tool running overnight. She could start using the new laptop without any interruption in the morning, and the whole thing took like 15 minutes of my time.

Just out of curiosity I tried vibecoding a GUI app (written in Python, GTK and libadwaita) based on the migration script in Cursor.
It really rewrote every feature, created a desktop file, AppStream metadata, icon, flatpak manifest... I started getting an existential crisis... and then it tried to build and run it and was running into dependency issues and cutting features until it got down to a simple demo window that finally worked. 🙂
