I use an old copy of Photoshop Elements. Between that and Inkscape I can do everything I need to do.
Got it. The only Windows/linux program issue I need to cure is Google Earth. I hate Google and would rather not have anything to do with it, but I do Satellite Archaeology scouting and need it.
While they do have and I installed Earth for Linux I am having a conflict with it loading the Earth server. I think it may be the pre-existing Earth windows folders that Linux still “sees” over in Windows.
Trying to cure that now.
Nope, I found the issue. Earth upgrade is the problem in case anyone else needs to know.
