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 >.<

    All those points assume that you would have compatible apps for both platforms. For some small subset of applications might work… Like VLC player, Firefox, Chromium browsers, … You could try to run Windows apps with Wine, but that can be done on app basis and will not be generic

      Yes for sure. But apps that really need an alternative will not be possible to backup. But

      • Firefox
      • Thunderbird
      • Libreoffice

      Are the most common ones where you really want to keep your profile, settings, dictionaries etc depending on what you used.
