. Windows 11 ( I know guys, but muh video games and user friendliness, otherwise I'd switch to Linux in a hearbeat, I've ranted about this all before )

. LibreOffice ( If you need it for work )

. Brave Browser

. 7Zip

. Foobar2000

. Protonmail ( I use web clients only for email for the most part, keeps life simple )

Honestly people may hate me pointing this out and rightly so but by default and by today's standards Windows 11 offers almost everything you need and there's a reason why a lot of people won't make the switch to Linux.

Going to the absolute basic of computer desktop features, running programs is a simply one or double click affair, everything works and it's usually the software developers' fault if something goes wrong with a third party app. It's never been easier to get into PCs which is all the more depressing to find out how many young zoomers are as tech illiterate as boomers thanks to mobile phones.
