Today I learned that my humble hobby project Migration Tool is being used in a company with 600k employees to migrate to new Linux workstations.

It's amazing how far code I started writing at night to help myself can get.

@sesivany amazing! I'm just curious - 600k company using Linux workstations 🧐 Which one 🙂?

@JigenDaisukeJr I'm not sure if I can name, but of course, not all 600k employees have Linux workstations, but it's an organization of this size that also has quite a few Linux workstations.

@sesivany sure, makes sense. I thought for a moment that some public institution somewhere is migrating to FOSS 😄

@JigenDaisukeJr @sesivany I'm on it with the personal project eu-os.gitlab.io @eu_os

Did you deploy with #Foreman / Redhat Satellite ?

@rriemann @JigenDaisukeJr @eu_os it was originally written for home use. You get a new laptop and you need to move your apps, settings and user data from the old machine to the new one. The goal was to only use tools that are pre-installed on Silverblue. The tool expects that the OS installed on the new machine and the user account has already been created, no provisioning included. No Satellite or Foreman. It isn't intended for mass deployments, but for individuals. But people people get new laptops in organizations and it's usually on them how they move the data from the old to the new, so they find it useful even in larger organizations.

@sesivany @rriemann @eu_os that's cool! And it also shows the beauty of FOSS.
