It is really great and has everything I needed. Moreover, you can directly make cross search (has tag X and Y and Z) by just going down in the tag folder. In this file system, you have all your tags as folder and you can see directly all the files of each tag. What is very interesting about TMSU is that it can create a virtual file system (based on FUSE). In my case, it is not a problem, as I don't mind using the command-line and I don't tag files very often. All the tagging must be done in command line. It is a command-line based tagging manager. After that, I tried the very simple TMSU. I first tried Tracker that is a Gnome project, but I was not satisfied with the search interface. It is a very simple program allowing to put tags on any file on the system and then search by tag on them. Another program I like a lot on Windows is TaggedFrog. Even if not very beautiful, it had all the features I needed and worked very well. Some time ago, I tried a lot of programs like Amarok/Rythmbox/Banshee, but I didn't liked them a lot and they were not running very well on large library of music files. I use iTunes as my main music player and library manager. I still add some applications to replace. I will totally buy a license of Crossover, once my free year is over. After some tuning, Diablo III was running almost flawlessly on my Gentoo machine :) Problem 1 solved.
Crossover is based on Wine and ensures that some software are running correctly under it and provide technical support. As I had received a year free of Crossover, I decided to give it a try. First of all, I needed my games to run on Linux. Most of my data are on a personal NAS and the remaining is on Dropbox, so no problem on this side.
How to migrate everything to Linux ?įirst, I had no problem with my data. So all these reasons made me remove Windows. Seriously ? And moreover, it turned out to be worse thant Office 2010 (which, again, was great).
Moreover, I recently bought Microsoft Office 2013 and it turned that I had to create an account at Microsoft to install it. I find that Window 7 was really great, but I really don't like Windows 8 and I would never have upgraded my Seven to it. After that, I decided that Windows what not so great at all for hardware support.Īnother reason I left Windows is Windows 8.
I decided to install the new chipset drivers and launch the Windows update and after that, Windows decided to boot without any USB support (WTF.). I finally made it through Windows after disabled AHCI mode on my motherboard, but then activation was invalidated (of course.) and online activation was not working. I turned out the contrary: my Gentoo installation worked just fine and my Windows totally crashed (BSOD at each startup). I was afraid that I had to reinstall my Linux configurations (because of Gentoo compiled with march=native), but I never thought that I would have to reinstall Windows. This weekend I upgraded my hardware configuration (Motherboard, CPU and RAM). On the other hand, I work on Linux for years now and I would like to have to work on Windows again. For instance, Newsleecher, iTunes or TaggedFrog. I always had some applications that I didn't found good enough Linux equivalents for. Most of the time when you add new peripheral, there is nothing, it just works, which is great. I always found that hardware support in Windows was great. As I hate OpenOffice/LibreOffice, I never wanted to remove it For schools we always had several teachers forcing us to use Microsoft document formats. Games :) Unfortunately, most of the games I play are not natively compatible with Linux.So first things first, why was I keeping the Windows system ? For several reasons: This week-end, I decided to completely remove it and migrate the applications I used on Windows to my Gentoo system.
For years now, I always kept a dual-boot at home with a Linux system (currently Gentoo) and a Windows system.
