How can I manage my genealogy data on Ubuntu?

I use several genealogy applications on Windows.

I will give you only a technical opinion, but you should experiment with the Ubuntu repository, it's full of nice software.

There is Gramps (sudo apt-get install gramps to install it from a console).

To obtain your data export it in the GEDCOM format on Windows and transfer it with any media on Linux. Import the transferred data in Linux with the import option.

A note: if you have a lot of data use Lifelines instead of Gramps, because it is capable of managing a great amount of data without a great loss of performance.

Ask if you need more help.
