"Everything" for quick file searching.

Blender 3D. You can create 3d models, sculpt, composite, video edit, motion track, animate, plus a game engine etc

VLC - it has a compressor function! 'nuff said.

[khomo]

Vlc, for example. I'll be back with more.

LibreOffice, Blender, Inkscape, VLC, Notebook++, OBS, R, GIMP, Tex/LaTeX, are just the ones that currently have shortcuts on my desktop on Windows, on my Linux desktop it's basically well, everything.

[SherylinRM]

Audacity, Gimp, Firefox, Notepad ++, Malwarebytes, MP3Gain, Winamp and some GOG games.
Those are ones I have used for years and even decades some of them.
Also I can't believe I have been watching your videos now for about 6 or 7 years now. 🙂

GIMP is my escape from the underworld that is Adobe. But in less traveled spheres, my favorites are SiriL astrophotography preproccessing, stacking and postprocessing software, and GraXpert noise reduction and more for astrophotographs. Both are amazing and can completely replace expensive software.

I use every day Inkscape, Davinci Resolve and Krita.

[twood]

first thing i though of was blender. 3d, video editing, motion tracking, painting, sculpting it is one of the biggest and best free pieces of software.

Let's go beyond free. Ninite offers to install multiple free programs at once,
say, if you have a new computer. I'm wary of programs that Ninite DOESN'T feature.
I think it also deletes bloatware.

PDFgear for editing and doing anything with PDF files.

[robertharker]

Feed the YouTube algorithm with a comment. Great video. Thank you!

[lisaayers]

VLC, Wise Cleaner, Tinywall Firewall and more.

[peterjansen]

LibreOffice, Panopreter Basic (text to speech), VLC media player, Gimp, EUKLID DynaGeo (for geometric constructions, though this will only be useful for a minority, as the full version only runs in German)

[georgeferlazzo]

Malwarebytes for security, it has out lasted all other security software. Twenty years and counting.

[vitorazevedo]

All the Linux ecosystem is so good, that is hard to believe he is free!!!

[RogDolos]

Blender3D, Godot, VLC, Foobar2000, DaVinci Resolve

[plainegrace]

Photoscape - I discovered it from one of your videos on the old channel name.

[toma.d]

Blender, FreeCAD, Inkscape, LinuxCNC, KdenLive, ...

[louaguado]

LMMS would be great if it included audio recording. 😏
