Starting on Jan 5th, I am mostly migrated from Windows 10 to Zorin Linux. It has taken about a week. Would have went faster if I wasn't a "power user" who tests every option and tweaks the shit out of my system. I have researched and tested multiple file managers (Nemo won) and terminals (Tabby won). Moved everything possible out of sandboxes. Set up VSCodium with Claude Code desktop extension, moved MCP servers to global in both Linux and Windows vs project specific, installed the wrapper for Claude Desktop, wired in 4 hard drives, bookmarked directories, imported Thunderbird and Librewolf profiles. E.T.C... And to do it I guided Claude Desktop with full access to both Windows 10 and Linux to research and implement, verbosely explaining each step of the way. Zorin did work out of the box. If I was not, unfortunately, a freak about how everything has to work exactly how I want, with a full software dev environment (no, not for vibe coding) to get working fluidly, the migration would have been instant. Zorin worked out of the box, other than passwords. It looks and behaves very similar to Windows. This is on my 2012 Hp 220Z with 32gb ram and an SSD for the OS. It works like a champ.
