I have a couple programs that are MAC/Windows only. Everything else is done
under Linux. [ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

At this point, I haven't been able to figure a way to set up
a
comparable system
in Linux. I always end up having to give up this or give up
that
LOL - I always end up trolling the net (sometimes in vain)
to find utilities that come standard in Linux. grep and diff
spring to mind as
my #1 need to install after installing
Windows
Part of the problem is
that MS and Apple have boxed people
into an idea of what a computer needs to do
- If it ain't in
Windows it's obviously not needed, and if it is in Windows,
it obviously is needed

Here's a friendly suggestion. Get a second laptop
and put Linux on it. Use it when you feel like it,
but keep your old laptop also. When you need a
certain app that you can't figure out how to
duplicate (yet) on Linux, use the old system. Little
by little, here's what will happen: as you comfort
level goes up, sue to learning more and habits
forming, you will do more and more on your laptop
with the GNU/Linux system on it, because it's so
fast and so enjoyable to know no one, as far as
vendors are concerned, is tracking you. It's just
a very lovely feeling.
But at the same time, you have what you need when you
are working so you are never at a loss.

As indicated - let us know the programs - or at least the
FUNCTIONALITY of the programs. I've known people to tell me
they can't use Linux because it doesn't do MS Word. In
questioning, it's because they want to be able to do word
processing. I gladly point out OpenOffice.org (and now
Libreoffice), KWord (Calligra), etc. Sometimes they are good
with it, other times "but it's not Word!" - for those I have
no answer.
