I would also delete or disable the app in Windows if I find the alternative to be sufficient
That's a good idea. It would force me to switch back to Linux from the Windows installation.
Photoshop and scanning are probably the two things keeping me on Windows the most. GIMP just isn't as good, no matter how some people say it is, and while scanning is close, at the moment I just can't get the same quality under Linux.
On the bright side, I've only got a few hundred photos to scan, and that should be finished, so at least it's not a permanent problem :)
