phant's software list

my software list, mostly open-source.I have used the vast majority of the software listed there myself for a long time. This software list open-source/free/freemium apps for Windows 10/11 that I would recommend.This also includes tools for CS/EE background developer. This list is designed to highlight excellent software in a particular area, so you don’t need to install all the software on the list. You should only consider installing the software I’ve selected when you have a need that falls under a specific section of the list.
