For many purposes, the free (and, by the way, all of these Linux programs were free, unless otherwise indicated) LibreOffice suite provided substantially the same functionality.īut here, in this third category, we begin to get into more subjective or individualized determinations. The third category contains Windows Programs with Good Linux Alternatives. But at least there was no need to search for a Firefox equivalent in Linux: it was already there. Generally, there were many things to learn about all of the Linux programs. It was possible that one version would have strengths and/or weaknesses that the other version lacked. There was no need to find an alternative to Firefox, when I could just use Firefox for Linux in place of Firefox for Windows. The second of the foregoing categories is Windows Programs Available in Linux. I gathered that there were effective ways of troubleshooting system problems in Linux, but in any case those would have no use for BlueScreenView. It exists to aid in the viewing of information about Windows Blue Screens of Death (BSODs). In other words, this post starts by eliminating the desired Windows programs that are simply not needed in Linux. Windows Programs Running in Linux (Wine or VM).Windows Programs with Mixed or Sketchy Linux Alternatives.Windows Programs with Tolerable Linux Alternatives.Windows Programs with Good Linux Alternatives.Later posts would revise some of the conclusions reached here. The impressions presented here were tentative, not final. This post constituted an intermediate step on my progression from Windows to Linux. Another post describes my attempts to use some of those Linux counterparts.
The present post looks for Linux counterparts to those Windows programs. A separate post presents a list of 95 Windows programs for which I had some identifiable need. Finding good programs was an important part of that project. As described in another post, I was in the process of developing a Linux Mint system.
