SCID vs PC
If you're running Windows, there is a free version of Chessbase https://en.chessbase.com/post/chessbase-reader-2017 . Better than Scid imo.

From what I remember, the Chessbase "freebies" are always feature-crippled in various ways. If you're good with that, then OK.
@EscherrhcsE It does everything I need and more from a database management software. Good enough for me.
It is a READER.

Just get a smart Linux distro, not Ubuntu. I suggest Manjaro Linux, which is very easy to install and manage. A breeze, compared to the parent distro, ArchLinux, which is... errr, geeky.
Installing Scid_Vs_Pc there is a breeze. There is a GUI installer, but the simplest way is opening a terminal, and typing in
yaourt scid_vs_pc
That's all, the rest is manageable even by my cat. The installer script will download, build and install all needed dependencies, and finally the application itself. The whole thing does not last more than 4 minutes, and all you have to type interactively is one number, and either y (for yes) or n (for no).
Quite a few windoze applications are more fussy to install and work properly!

What's wrong with Ubuntu? It's great and (relatively) easy to use (compared to other distros, *cough* ArchLinux, *cough*). That said, I prefer the more 'modern aesthetics' of Elementary OS. I dislike Manjaro mostly because of its Windows 7-esque look.
Would recommend Solus OS/Zorin OS for beginners. Once you get the hang of it, move to Elementary OS or Ubuntu.

Linux can look like windows if you wish so. Or, it can look like a mac. Or, it can look like.... well, even like something unique. Just pick some windows manager and desktop of your choice. In Manjaro, you don't have to use XFCE4, which is by nature conservative, and windows-esque. KDE5/ Plasma certainly does not look like windoze, and it's an official release, for example.

Fair enough. I guess when I was using Manjaro it was an older version. By all accounts it has improved quite a lot.
I want to tell you that in the linux mint forum help me to install scidvspc. Now i have it. About the distro. I like mint, I find it very user friendly. Thanks to all.
You can try this. Hope it works.

Anyone know how to search for positions with a similar pawn structure to the current board?

If you're using the latest subversion , you can check out the CQL search help -
Quick and powerful position searches can be done by marking squares with Shift+Click, then opening the CQL search dialog
