Agents in the Wild

Windows to a Linux desktop they like better, in just 3 or 4 hours

Linux config files are where switching gets painful. Claude helped them pick Fedora, answered every setup question and had Claude Code write the scripts they'd never have bothered with.

What they did

Chatted with Claude about the move to find the best distribution and settled on Fedora. After installing it, asked how to configure everything they wanted, and had Claude Code write a batch of scripts they’d never have got round to writing.

How it went

Straight answers took the pain out of editing Linux config files. In 3 or 4 hours they had a setup more comfortable than the one they’d had on Windows.

Try it yourself with Claude
I'm moving from Windows to Linux. I use my computer for [work, apps, games, hardware]. Recommend a distribution and say why, then give me a step-by-step setup checklist. For each thing I want to configure ([list]), give me the exact commands or config file changes and explain how to undo them.
