One of the things I hear often from someone wanting to try linux and leave windows is that they are afraid that they will no longer be able perform some of the things they used to do. That is so wrong. Be it from the perspective of a developer or a casual user linux offers a wide range of apps to suit your needs. Here is a table of things I used to do in windows that I can still do in linux
| Application | Windows | Suse Linux – KDE desktop |
|---|---|---|
| Chat | Gtalk, Skype | Kopete / pidgin for gtalk
Skype is supported |
| Development | Eclipse / myeclipse / Netbeans | All of them have linux flavours |
| Screenshot | Gadwin printscreen | Ksnapshot |
| Browsing | Chrome / Firefox / Opera | They are all supported. Chrome support is getting better |
| SQL Client | Squirrel SQL | Supported. Java runs anywhere |
