Are there any good tools for listing your current programs, maybe exporting settings etc. Listing hidden settings and save locations would be great too.

I’m about 90% ready to switch to Linux full time, and I want to make sure that I’ve got everything. I’ve got a horrible feeling that I’m missing something, but I can’t think what it might be.

EDIT: Ironically, I forgot to mention my ADHD / memory issues. I could do with a tool like this because I forget about anything that I’m not currently using, or actively thinking about using soon >.<

    It tends to be one of the most regularly mentioned reasons for staying on Windows. It can’t run natively, and whenever I’ve read about Photoshop in a VM, it’s been from someone saying that the performance is awful.

    Don’t misunderstand me, this is one case where I’d love to be wrong. Photoshop is probably 99% of what’s keeping me on the dark side. Being able to use it in Linux without a major performance penalty would be fantastic :)

      Yes, if you run a non optimized VM everything will be slow. It took me few weeks at start to discover all optimisation options for qemu/kvm and then years of perfecting it to make it run very close to bare metal

      Edit: the key is to pass through one of your graphic cards

        Does that mean I need more than one graphics card? I’ve just got the one.

          Depends, does your CPU has already one?

            It doesn’t, no. I’ve got a micro ATX motherboard too, so no room for a second one there
