@engineerminded Also another problem is that many #Linux distros don't offer the types of software that users want, but some add on a lot of unwanted bloat. For example #LinuxMint is supposed to be a user-friendly distro but they install tons of additional software that you may never use. What they should do is at the time of installation, give you the option to go with the standard package of applications (for "give me all the goodies" types) OR to pick the packages you really want from a list. But then they don't offer some types of packages that people might actually want for security or privacy reasons, such as #OpenSnitch (a Linux application-specific firewall equivalent to the #MacOS #LittleSnitch program) or a good password manager such as #KeePassXC, or a good full-system backup utility similar to the #MacOS #TimeMachine program (most Linux backup utilities only back up a subset of the system, such as user files only or system files only, and none have the equivalent of the #MacOS #MigrationAssistant which lets you restore your applications, settings, and data to a new machine, or if your main storage fails and you have to replace it). The lack of an equivalent to Time Machine/Migration Assistant is one of the major reasons I have not personally gone to Linux on my desktop.

More #MigrationAssistant quirks: my Arc tabs made it over, as did my account. The browser profile itself, apparently not. All settings have been reset and no extensions are installed.

@robert_p_king Nice! The first migration I worked on used the #MigrationAssistant to re-target. It was months before we even got things to compile again (and that's with test projects excluded) 😬

The second one, which is still in progress, is a totally new project + some #netstandard projects (shared contracts) that we are copying into and adjusting one by one, much like what you described. The plan is to use #YARP to slowly replace the existing app in production with the #net6 implementation.

I’ve been trying to use #migrationassistant to setup a new #Mac for Dame Lisa.. so far it’s failed twice.. sadly I’m not surprised in the least, and such.. (and no she’s not going to #linux don’t even say it trolls….) #grind #tech #ITM
