Personal note: I am not very knowledgeable on computers.
I have a new solid state drive after my old hard drive's Windows key apparently 'expired.'
The ssd is preloaded with Windows 10 because of familiarity and 'muh gaymes', but I do want to start getting away from Microsoft stuff (including the OS) on principle.
I know internet browser options are currently a bit "pick your poison." I've been satisfied with Brave and Waterfox, and previously Pale Moon (dropped for some website or add-in functionality I can't remember from years ago).
Besides that, I was thinking this might be a good opportunity to learn about current software/projects doing things properly.
So, I'll just share what programs I see among my hard drive files... 7zip, SumatraPDF, VLC, Audacity (which I recall seeing got bought), Steam, Dropbox, MusicBee (music player and manager), OpenOffice, and some game emulators for a Nintendo fanboomer.

Why VirtualBox when you can just use WSL2?
I've never used WSL2 so maybe it's great, but I'd still say virtualbox just because it's more separate so you know what's going on.
