Looking for good/helpful software for windows to get. Stuff that offers QoL improvements etc

And no I don’t care about Linux so don’t bother suggesting I switch to it.

    Hwinfo

    Windirstat

    Ninite

    Caffeine

    VLC

    Xnview

    7-zip

    Those go on every machine that I use, then you have your more specialized programs depending on industry.

      Don’t use WIndirstat, It is needlessly slow. Use something like WizTree instead

      It’s been many years since I had a windows desktop, but that list is right on. Great base software for your install.

      If you’re on Win 11, use NanaZip. It’s a fork with better integration with Windows 11’s crappy conext menu.

      Caffeine

      If you have PowerToys this is built in now.
