Great software which makes your life much easier

Boost for Reddit.
Probably the best app I've ever used.
Although I'm on Reddit, there is just no place like home. I keep coming back to mybroadband because of all these cool people
 
Some ones that I find really useful:
Process Explorer: Free and awesome task manager
MobaXterm: Tabbed SSH Client. Need I say more. Has a free version
flawlesswidescreen: For playing most old games at 1080p
Dropbox: FYI put your "documents" folder on dropbox to sync documents, saved games and settings between pc's.
VLC: It plays anything and is portable so it works on the work's pc as well.
 
Zsh - with a lot of plugins
Grep
VS Code
Ardour - Open Source DAW. I use it for a lot of music related things. Virtual amp racks, general recording, AKAI Midi centers work with it seamlessly
 
Notepad++
Snipping tool
Kdiff3 - File comparison utility
Handbrake - Video compression utility
 
Other stuff i use very frequently..

Notebook:

- VMware Fusion

Gitkraken is better blah blah but its not free and i use bitbucket.

- 1Password..

Mobile:

+100 Makes finding files so much easier!

I also use Scanner, some freeware by Steffen Gerlach, a tool that uses a sunburst chart to display the usage of your hard disk or other media. The nice thing is that it shows all the major files and folders from all directory levels at the same time, allowing me to find what is eating space on e.g. smaller SSD systems.
 
Notepad++
Emby (the free version is perfectly good enough for all my needs)
VS 2019 Community

Edit: I used to use efs (Effective File Search), but voidtools Everything looks awesome
