What software could you not live without?

Ginger_

Just out of curiosity, What are some of your favorite software and first installs on a fresh OS install?

 

Personally, Mine are Plex, Chrome (is there any other browser?) Nicehash, Steam, PuTTY, Logos, and Transmission on my OMV Server, and a remote GUI on almost every device I own.

 

I obviously use other programs as well, But nothing quite on a regular basis as those. What about you guys?

First I install Chrome with Edge, murder IE and Windows Media Player with an ax, and install VLC, Steam, DisplayFusion, FileZilla, Putty, Discord, Creative Cloud, Office, and Spotify.

Soundcloud FTW. And I think OneDrive comes preinstalled... or maybe just after the fall update

I've never heard of that one before, looks to be a lot more feature rich over putty
