GIMP (Image editor)
putty (Secure shell/terminal emulator)
WinSCP (Secure FTP client)
QBittorrent (guess.)
7zip (All in one compressed archive manager)
Firefox
Notepad++ (text editor with syntax highlights)
Handbrake (Video transcoder)
VLC (all in one video player)
These are my top must have installed. There are others but they're situational
Let's not forget the various console emulators that are open source as well. All the good ones are.
That's a good list!
I use the same, except I use LibreWolf (privacy focused fork of FF) and VS Code instead of Firefox and Notepad++
I would actually recommend VSCodium; it's the same product but without the Microsoft telemetry.
Does it lose any MS connected features? Other than surveillance.
VSCodium can't use the official Microsoft extension marketplace, but there is an alternative. You can also install extensions manually.
Yeah VS Code definitely if ya doing programming. I'm just editing config/ini files once in a while so N++ is just right for me.
I use Kitty instead of Putty recently, though I don't know if the difference is worth it.
I just use Powershell, much easier imo
