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 >.<

    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.

          What do you mean, what do you think is so special about Photoshop? I play Starfield on Ultra on Windows inside Qemu/KVM virtual machine on Linux.
