I can tell you that I do all these things. I would also not expect that these things are accomplished the same way. In fact, you'll probably find that you'll be doing things very differently. Some things you used to do won't work so well, but others will be far easier than they ever were on Windows. It's just different, and I say Hurrah for the difference. To my mind, it's not an issue of comparison. I'm quite happy with the notion that if I can't do it in Linux, I can probably get along without it.
