thinkorswim is a proprietary stock trading platform that is humongous and extremely complex written in java.
I found this http://askubuntu.com/questions/394062/running-thinkorswim
I may try it.

Thinkorswim and evernote so far, I may discover more.
Evernote has quite a few alternatives, thinkorswim can be installed on Mint/Ubuntu but the directions seem dependant on the version that you're running.

I read that the evernote alternative aren't very good. I also read the MS office alternative aren't as good.
I just started the move out of windows a week ago. So I am working on a lot of things. It can't hurt to keep my windows VM running until I get everything sorted out.
I wanted to run everything in VMs. I have solaris, bsd, true OS, osx, windows 7, many gnu/linux flavors all in VMs.
I tried MS hypervisor and Oracle esxi, but they both suck. Oracle linux has a VM platform you can install. I may try that.

Thinkorswim looks like they have an official Linux client available: https://mediaserver.thinkorswim.com/installer/install.html
It's looks like there's some Evernote alternatives for Linux, one called "Nevernote" is recommended by Evernote themselves so I would check into that. Worth a shot at least.

I have two hard drives, one with Windows 7 and the other with Ubuntu. They each have their virtues. Mostly use Win 7 unless I am doing programming, recording music, writing and a few other things I use Ubuntu for.

Oh and as far as MS Office alternatives go, LibreOffice is just as good if you ask me, and I have to use MS Office everyday at work. There's also WPS Office which is supposed to be pretty good, but I've never tried it myself. Download them both and give them a shot since it doesn't cost anything.
Here's a comparison between MS Office and LibreOffice though:

I don't really see any major differences between MS and LibreOffice  OpenOffice is also great, it's just become less popular in recent years.

Yes it is, it's the version that Microsoft developed for Linux and Mac.
Looks like it has issues if you need to code in C# though.
Personally I'd just say learn to use Vim or Emacs for coding though

From Wikipedia
Visual Studio Code is a source code editor developed by Microsoft for Windows, Linux and macOS. It includes support for debugging, embedded Git control, syntax highlighting, intelligent code completion, snippets, and code refactoring. It is also customizable, so users can change the editor's theme, keyboard shortcuts, and preferences. It is free and open-source,[6][7] although the official download is under a proprietary license.[5] ____
Microsoft Visual Studio is an integrated development environment (IDE) from Microsoft. It is used to develop computer programs for Microsoft Windows, as well as web sites, web applications and web services. Visual Studio uses Microsoft software development platforms such as Windows API, Windows Forms, Windows Presentation Foundation, Windows Store and Microsoft Silverlight. It can produce both native code and managed code.
Visual Studio includes a code editor supporting IntelliSense (the code completion component) as well as code refactoring. The integrated debugger works both as a source-level debugger and a machine-level debugger. Other built-in tools include a forms designer for building GUI applications, web designer, class designer, and database schema designer. It accepts plug-ins that enhance the functionality at almost every level—including adding support for source-control systems (like Subversion) and adding new toolsets like editors and visual designers for domain-specific languages or toolsets for other aspects of the software development lifecycle (like the Team Foundation Server client: Team Explorer).
Visual Studio supports different programming languages and allows the code editor and debugger to support (to varying degrees) nearly any programming language, provided a language-specific service exists. Built-in languages include C,[8] C++ and C++/CLI (via Visual C++), VB.NET (via Visual Basic .NET), C# (via Visual C#), and F# (as of Visual Studio 2010[9]). Support for other languages such as Python,[10] Ruby, Node.js, and M among others is available via language services installed separately. It also supports XML/XSLT, HTML/XHTML, JavaScript and CSS. Java (and J#) were supported in the past.
Microsoft provides a free version of Visual Studio called the Community edition that supports plugins and is available at no cost for all users.

Windows 7 on my laptop, and sometimes Linux in a VM. Or I ssh to the Linux computers at my school.
I have a cheap Android tablet with better screen resolution than my laptop (2560x1600), and I have an app on that called "Debian noroot" that lets me do some Linux stuff. I can't figure out how to get it to do X11 forwarding over SSH though, not sure if it's not possible without rooting the tablet or what. The -X option doesn't do it.

What tablet is it? It shouldt be too hard to root.

Kobo Arc 10 HD.
I found instructions for doing it but haven't got around to trying it. Not sure if it's possible to screw up somehow and brick the device.

It is definitely possible, but as long as you follow instructions to a t and make a backup you should be fine.
