Fred,
~90% of the "really good ham apps" initially written for Windoze runs in
Linux, sometimes much faster than in its native environment. The only
problem is to know HOW...
This list isn't a good place to advocate Linux (or any other OS),
however there is a general rule:
1. Try
2. If does not work, ask
3. If nobody knows, it does not mean that this app definitely can't work...
I want to remind that the OS is an environment only!
In my experience, it is worth to investigate the internal mechanics, it
is also good chance to learn something new. No bad surprises in the future!
BTW you don't need to install Linux or any app, reformatting the HD is
totally waste of your time. All what you need can be done without
installation, just boot from a CD/DVD or memory stick and you are on!
Just my $0.02...

I had 2 really good days with Linux the day I downloaded it and the day I
reformatted the hard drive it was on. All the really good ham apps are
Windows Apps and you don't have to screw with the OS all the time like
Linux. Just my opinion.

While OT, still important. There is a new scam, prevalent on the US
west coast but might be elsewhere. You receive a phone call from a
fast-talking dude who obliquely purports to be from Microsoft. His
pitch goes something like, "blah blah this is windows support, we're
getting error messages from your computer. Can you get to your
computer now ... blah ... we can solve it ... it's all very secure ...
blah," at which point I hung up. Have now had 3 more of them.
While there's probably no one on this list who would fall for this, it
might be wise to advise less-technically inclined family members of
this and to hang up immediately.
