this distro is fine. I do miss WordPerfect a little, but I have that on my Windows machine.

I miss Evernote, too, but there are maybe a dozen or clones to be tried. Little utilities like Explorer2 and Convert probably have their equivalents. No doubt there's an equivalent to Irfanview/Xnview and simple text editors should be abundant. I had problems with AbiWord, but the Linux version might be worth going back to. If Foxit doesn't have a linux version, no doubt there's something else.

I've been using Thunderbird, Firefox, LibreOffice and GIMP for a while, so no big changes there. And Opera and Calibre have linux versions.

Life is good.
