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 >.<

    Dual-boot, and if anything is missing, boot back into Windows to do that while you work on figuring out how to do it on Linux. There might be something to do what you’re asking, but I find it unlikely because Windows and Linux are very different internally.

      That’s what I’m doing at the moment, but I find myself staying on the OS I’m using until I’m forced to reboot to the other for whatever reason. e.g. If I boot to Windows for Photoshop, I tend to start browsing and checking my emails, and the next thing I know, it’s three weeks later and I’ve forgotten to switch back >.<

        Setup a Windows virtual machine inside your Linux environment. Now you’re not leaving Linux to get into your Windows environment.

          Does Photoshop run properly in a VM? That’s the most resource intensive program I use regularly

            I haven’t found a program that gives me problems when I run it in a VM, but I haven’t run Photoshop in it, and I only spool up my Windows VM a couple times a year.

            Last time was to run some janky-ass software to program an oddball Chinese UHF radio that was unsupported by Chirp.
