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 >.<

    You don’t need to immediately delete your Windows installation, you can just dual boot and keep your Windows install around. Then, you can just start using Linux, and see over time if you missed anything. If you notice that you haven’t needed to boot into the Windows partition for some time, and you feel comfortable with getting rid of it, you can just delete it afterwards.

      This is a what I’m trying to do at the moment, but I forget to switch back if I’ve been forced to boot into Windows.

      It doesn’t help that I’ve got ADHD, so I’m convinced that I’ve forgotten something and just can’t remember what >.<

        Fellow ADHD guy here, back when I switched to Linux from macOS I encountered the same issue, maybe you can try to move all of the important stuff to Linux first, so when you use Windows for the things that you haven’t moved over yet you are forced to reboot into Linux to do other stuff

          That’s a good idea, I might try it that way, thanks :)

            Also can try setting Linux as the default boot option

            If you log out of websites & delete your cookies on Windows, random browsing may be more inconvenient there.

        Another benefit to dual-booting is that you can still read your Windows files from Linux, so whenever you realize something you’re forgetting, you can just dip in and grab it.
