Switching to Linux - NEED EVERYTHING!
Posted: Sat Feb 17, 2024 3:14 pm
Void,
I'm switching to Zorin OS 17 Linux (Debian-based) as I simply cannot abide Windows 11. They're making it too Mac-like and removing features I've used for decades (since the mid-90s, actually). There are two issues that are making the switch painful. One is the lack of Everything for search. There is NOTHING that comes close to the power and yet simplicity of VoidTools Everything! I've read today that a Linux version is on you to-do list.
If it will help move the project along, I will pay $50 (perhaps more) for a functional Linux version of Everything.
I'm running a dual-boot of Windows 10 and Zorin using Grub2Win. That means both operating systems share my data and backup drives. I can bring Everything up through WINE in Linux, but Everything simply doesn't recognize the Linux etx4 drives. It sees my Windows NTFS data and backup drives, but doesn't properly index them.
Any word on when we can expect a Linux version?
Sincerely,
smgolden
