    Krita. I don’t use it at a professional level so I don’t know if it’s missing important features, but as far as I know it’s also used by skilled artists. Also, the documentation is great.

    Definitely R/R Studio if you’re in data analysis. Runs circles around commercial Software in terms of scope and customization. A little harder to get into of course, but once you get the hang of it, there’s little you can’t get done with it.

      I still run Total Commander v3.31, before Google made them gimp some of the features.

      I used OpenVPN for years and deployed it across numerous places I worked and at home, amazing project. I feel a bit guilty for switching to wireguard a couple years back but it really is amazingly fast.

      On this note it’s crazy there are people who will spend over $100 on a Windows license, when all they do is use a web browser or simple productivity apps like spreadsheets or word.

      I can get if you’re using some adobe products, or some game that hasn’t been updated to the Linux compatible EAC, but for the vast majority of people paying over $100 (or having that cost passed onto you from the manufacturer if Windows is preinstalled) is crazy.

      Not an “app” but close enough :) I agree anyway

          I believe that the only basic human right is the right to participate and function in your local society (whatever that means to your individual situation). In other words, you dont really have the innate right to anything, but you absolutely have the right to participate and receive the amount of benefit from others that you provide to them. For better or worse (and im not going to argue about it) the way we do that today, in this society, is currency.

      Microsoft is adding extensive archive format support (using libarchive) to Windows 11. I’d like to thank 7-zip for its service over the decades, though.

        The way Msoft are going with right click options I’m doubtful it’ll complete.

          If you’re talking about the more limited set of options you get when you right click a file in Windows 11, just hold shift while right clicking to get the original options. You’ve actually been able to hold shift to get additional options going way back, I think to windows XP.

          There’s a lot of extra useful options in there too like opening command prompts to the current folder and copying file paths to the clipboard.

    Youtube hands down. Youtube is the best dad, best teacher, biggest information hub, and arguably the best meme generator in existence. The fact i can dive into any type of video content and come out feeling like i gained so much is incredible.

      You just have to curate the auto-suggestions. After a little while mine basically only suggests me educational/science videos and movie reviews/analysis.

        If you’re smart you use ublock origin and sponsorblock on desktop, revanced on android, and Smarttube next on android TV. Free YouTube premium features with no ads etc.

        Depending on how you look at it then yes its not free. Though you could use something like Libretube to prevent both ads and any form of analytical data from being collected.

        Though other alternatives like revanced manager prevent ads and give premium benefits. Not sure about the analytical instance of it though.

      I genuinely want to use it but I have no idea how or even how to start. Any advice?
