I cannot imagine coming back to Windows as my main system. You have tried to learn Linux quickly with a professional pressure. I think this is the worst-case scenario. I would have hated -and feared- to do it this way.
I am quite satisfied with odt format, OpenOffice or LibreOffice, and now the calibre Editor (to replace Sigil) not to speak of many other tools you may find.
Don't throw it away now. Keep one Linux on the side, like a hobby, tweaking it gently, solving questions, one by one. Breathe. Take your time. Learn first how to save (or clone) a partition. Ultimately, because you are just asking for very simple tasks, I'm sure you'll be rewarded. |
Thanks, Roger. That's calming advice. I really like Linux it's just I want to be able to do there what I did in Windows without sacrificing quality. And I've enjoyed learning about Linux, but even just learning the things necessary to make an ebook sometimes seems like a never-ending proposition. I'll do my best to chill a little bit.
