I've been moving over my stuff from my old setup. AI has been suuuper helpful in so much of the process.

From helping me set up dual boot, then helping me set up disk decryption at boot time using their preferred bootloader. Then helping me evaluate everything installed and what I should remove. Then helping me reimplement their web application feature via Firefox instead of chrome. Then helping me move my projects over, then helping me get my ngit setup working better and pushing my code to it. Then moving over files and deduping it. And finally setting up stow for a dotfiles setup.

It had still taken me days, but some standouts from before:

I tried Hyprland before, it was a lot of work to set up and never felt polished. I've been using gnome. I used to often run out of memory running just AI and LibreWolf (many tabs and a few agents)

Currently, no memory issues doing what feels like more work 👌

I'm finally enjoying the tiled window manager and learning shortcuts.

Claude helped me set up sound tuning using tools in omarchy to get better sound than I had before despite no one still hasn't created a profile for my laptop (Lenovo X1 something)

Fingerprint login and sudo worked after enabling with little effort.

Biggest pet peeve: their screensaver will come on when playing a video. Idle detection prevention is broken (known issue)

I even managed to set up three finger swipe workspace switching.

Now that it's pretty perfect, let's see how long it lasts. Sometimes I feel like I'm just addicted to the tinkering 😂
