Voidtools Everything is a gamechanger on Windows. It can search my entire PC instantly opposed to Windows Explorer taking minutes. You can also configure it to work with 3rd party file managers like Freecommander and eliminate Explorer from your workflow entirely.

Anyone have a good alternative to photopea for Windows/Linux? Please don't say gimp :(
I love photopea but the subscription model is lame. It turns it into another Photoshop.
I need something to do occasional art in that will survive my slow Linux transition.
I quite like Krita
Looks great!
I'll give it a go. Thank you!
LocalSend. File transfer between any devices with (almost) any OS over LAN. No account required. The best file transfer app I've ever encountered by far.
StreetComplete. Get motivated to go outside with quests to help complete OpenStreetMaps. Surprisingly addictive. Requires an OpenStreetMaps account.
f.lux. Remove the blue light from your computer monitor in the evening to help you fall asleep more easily. Redshift. As above. Not quite as good, but works on some OS/System configurations that f.lux can't handle.
Pulsar. A community version of the discontinued Atom text editor. Highly extendable and configurable. Great for small programming tasks or opening text files with an obscure syntax. Has most of the packages built for Atom.
Home Assistant. For automating your house and more (controlling smart lights and appliances, monitoring solar panel output, weather forecasts, printer diagnostics, delivery tracking...). A dedicated device (Raspberry Pi, old laptop) is highly recommended. A bit of a learning curve, but hard to live without after using it.
I mostly use this on my desktop running win10, but GridPlayer for playing shows off an external hard drive.
At one point had it on my laptop running a Debian based OS, but I must have uninstalled/removed it somehow because I couldn't find it a few days ago when I needed it. Thankfully I found an appimage as I couldn't find it in the repos. And as I am writing this comment, I checked to see if it was available through flatpak and it is.
Love it because I can have my shows take up the full program area and stay that way when I change program resolution. I try that with other programs and it either doesn't fit the whole program area or doesn't take up the area when I change program size.
Only thing I wouldn't really recommend it for is shows with subtitles since I have yet to figure out if it even supports subtitle files. Couldn't watch the latest season of a show on it and had to switch to VLC because of that.
Snagit, it's like Windows snipping tool on steroids. I was introduced to it at work and loved it so much I bought a license for my personal computer.
I'm also a huge fan of Dashlane for managing my passwords. It's one of the pricier options, but it works so much better than everything else I've tried (and has a nicer UI, too)
Krita (without any kind of unnecessary unsupported and unofficial AI plugins btw). It's one of the few free programs that I like so much I paid for them.
I've also been getting a lot of mileage out of Tiny Media Manager.
Would you say that Krita is suitable for a beginner, especially with a little knowledge of traditional drawing?
I wouldn't recommend learning to draw from scratch digitally no matter what software, but if you're not a complete beginner and you're willing to experiment with its functions, I don't see why not. There's a large helpful community and lots of tutorials too.
Got a game on a library other than Steam, but want access to all the Steam workshop mods for said game because nobody posts them anywhere else?
Then you want WorkshopDL. I would be stuck with a minimally modded RimWorld if not for this, because I got the game on GOG, and I'm not paying for it and all the DLC again just to get access to the workshop.

Aegis, Bitwarden, Librewolf, Mullvad and MEGA on my desktop
I have a few to recommend...
Firefox - Stop giving an ad network all of your data on a silver platter.
Affinity Photo - Good photo editing software with perpetual licensing.
digiKam - FOSS photo organizing software
Strawberry Music Player - A fork of a fork of amaroK, good music player!
VLC - Watch any video file.
Kodi - Consume your media library, in style!
OpenRA - Play the original Command & Conquer: Tiberian Dawn and Red Alert as well as Dune 2000 on modern hardware/software for free.
Unreal Tournament 2004 - I have bought this game three times, the original CD release on 6 discs, Steam and GOG. This is to my mind the best arena shooter ever, the original CD release even came with an official Linux installer.
Minor warning about Strawberry Music Player:
If you are looking for a completely free local music player on windows or mac without paying, I'd skip this because both versions are tied to patreon last I checked. I know as a fact the windows version is, but not 100% sure on the mac version since I don't have a mac.
I personally think it's good enough if you feel like paying for it so they can keep developing it, but it's good to keep this kinda stuff in mind.
Tied to patreon how?
I was on Clementine before but development seems to have stalled
OpenRA - Play the original Command & Conquer: Tiberian Dawn and Red Alert as well as Dune 2000
OMG I'm gonna unlock some really deep memories right now
they can be found on openra.net
That is a horrible abuse of the term "arcade shooter"
You are completely right!
UT2004 is not an arcade shooter, it is an arena shooter, sorry about that, thank you for correcting me

Mullvad, Ente Auth, VS Codium, Librewolf, VLC, Steam
I love Godot for making video games.
Simple enough for a hobbyist, powerful enough for a developer. Free and open source
