Inilah Daftar Padanan Aplikasi Windows di Linux
Bagi Anda yang telah terbiasa menggunakan sistem operasi Windows, biasanya akan ragu ketika akan mulai mencoba Linux, sejumlah pertanyaan dan keraguan hadir menyelimuti benak kita.
Apakah di Linux juga ada aplikasi ‘A’, aplikasi ‘B’ untuk membantu saya mengerjakan ‘ini’ atau ‘itu’?, Apakah butuh waktu lama untuk melakukan penyesuaian?, Kompatibel kah file yang saya buat di Linux dengan Windows? dan sebagainya..dan sebagainya…
Sejujurnya, pertanyaan dan keraguan serupa juga muncul dibenak saya sebelum saya migrasi ke Linux. Namun banyaknya virus yang sering menganggu komputer bersistem Windows telah menjadi pemicu bagi saya untuk menginstall dan menggunakan Linux sebagai sistem operasi utama.
Sebagai bahan pertimbangan (dan semoga ini bisa menjadi informasi bagi Anda yang akan melakukan migrasi ke Linux), berikut ini adalah daftar padanan aplikasi Windows yang ada pada platform Linux yang saya kutip dari situs Wiki LinuxQuestion.org
