My Setup - All Apps and Software
Master List of all Apps and Software I use for both work and personal life.
The first 20 apps I install on a new Windows PC
Windows is bundled with scores of important and useful apps by default, much more than it had in its early days. There are still a lot of other apps I think are incredibly helpful or just really cool, while some third-party apps are essential for specific types of work. Here's a list of 20 of them I typically install before anything else on a new Windows PC.
Privacy-Respecting Apps and Services (Computers)
Choose freedom and continued democracy by switching away from big tech in your personal digital lives.
Not all apps and services listed will be open source or even free (as in free beer), but they will at the very least be privacy-respecting.
Of course, there will be a few exceptions, simply because they are necessary for some people, like for work.
BUT, THEY ARE NOT NECESSARY FOR YOUR PERSONAL LIFE. Work-life balance is important.
This list will get updated from time to time.
Each section lists my recommendations in order of best (in my opinion) to good enough. Except for the Docs and OS sections, which are listed from easiest for beginners to better for creatives, techies, and professionals. These and the Video Conferencing section, which is listed based on needed for work to good enough for personal use.
Lastly, the Linux operating systems (or distros) are at the end of the list because no matter which you choose, the majority of these apps can be installed on Windows, and can certainly be installed on any of the distros.

Comments and Reviews
Huge fan of this program, very intuitive right out of the box and so pleasant to work with.
Custom functions are very easy to program once you get the hang of it, and all around the design decisions were well thought out and sensible.
Downright painful when I have to back to using bash.
There is no way to disable/remove the built-in function "please" that serves no purpose other than a funny joke – it's an alias to "sudo".
The reason it's bad is simple – I use a tool called "please" and since shell functions are "before" binaries in path I had to create my own config.fish that uninitializes their function.
Very good. I've been using for over a year now and had a pretty good experience
It's very user friendly and has great default settings, however it's really cumbersome that it's not compliant with bash in some cases :(
The many helpful features make using the command line much easier.
Much more usable than the standard bash garbage. The only problems I've had are with people assuming that everyone uses bash and then things don't work. You can't paste command line stuff from Ubuntu forums, phone remote control apps don't work because they assume bash, etc.
