The Complete Suite of Programs Needed After New Windows Installation [V2.0: Advanced]
After a fresh Windows installation, new users might get frustrated by the weakness of the default Microsoft apps. So, in this list I'm going to cover applications that will enhance the user experience for everyday tasks. And for that, I only picked programs that meet these criteria:
• Should be free (not commercial), safe and preferably open-source.
• Should be an offline native desktop app/client.
• Does not require advanced technical knowledge.
Thus, the list is tailored to non tech-savvy home users, however, a section for people who are into computer programming and IT will be also added, which includes basic and commonly-used development and coding tools.
Europe’s Open-Source Solutions: Your Guide to Transparent, Independent and GDPR-Aligned Software.
This guide is designed for anyone looking to take greater control of their digital life by choosing open-source solutions developed and maintained within Europe. It highlights projects that promote transparency, reduce reliance on non-European tech ecosystems, and align with Europe’s strong commitment to privacy and data protection. The goal is to support digital autonomy in Europe while uplifting the local developers and communities who build trustworthy, user-centric software.
The linux setup for everyone (freeware with GUI only and distro recommendations)
THIS LIST HAS BEEN DELETED DUE TO A BUG, SO IT MISSES SOME HONORABLE MENTIONS !
I've been using Linux for a year now. I do use CLI tool and the terminal but I'm super used to GUI and I do understand why you might don't want to bother with Terminal and stuff ! Here is my list of useful tools for beginners on Linux !

PeaZip is 7-Zip with a nice user interface. Not more, not less. It's not only better looking, the whole interface seems to be more thought through. I see no reason why you would not prefer this to 7-Zip. I also see no reason why you would ever want to use WinRAR nowadays.
Edit: After some time of using PeaZip, I find the user interface quite laggy from time to time. I think I will go back to 7-Zip...
Laggy? What are you using, an Amiga?
On Linux: No drag & drop to desktop and no multiple selection by mouse, like in Dune 2? In 2024? At this point it's better to use a command line.
Not true.
Sorry, I should have specified that I meant on Linux. The developers themselves say so ( https://www.reddit.com/r/PeaZip/comments/19arb43/drag_n_drop_doesnt_work_on_linux/ ) and at version 10.2.0 it is still like that.
Over all a nice program that works on Windows and Linux. Only thing I would want to see is PowerArchiver's .PA support - I would pay for it. Since they don't make a Linux edition.
I used to evade this software years ago for its simplicity. I wanted something more complex like WinRar. The previous one I tried was Bandizip, but since then I've switched to this one completely. It has all the functions and integrations necessary. I can set ip up to pack and unpack from the context menu, with fine-tuning. The UI is smooth with a pleasant color palette. It can also compress a queue of archives deleting original files automatically, which saves a lot of time. Not doing this one-by-one.
Looks good, but it takes 2,6 GB to install. A bit too much for file archiver...
Modern and powerful . It's perfect
Have had zero issues extracting large ZIPs ranging from 10-15GB with no issues that Linux Mint's default ZIP extraction can't do.
