    Couple more programs: Shotcut; Shotcut is a free, open source, cross-platform video editor. . Raw Therapee is a RAW photo editor similar to Adobe Lightroom. Thought of one more: Handbrake; HandBrake is a tool for converting video from nearly any format to a selection of modern, widely supported codecs.

    Thanks, always get at least one software to download from this series! I would like to mention Chocolatey as a package manager, it doesn't have a great GUI, but when you get used to it, downloading packages, and keeping things up to date is very easy.

      @@Neucher winget is a poorman's clone of Chocolatey, though. Did MS finally add the option of updating installed applications through winget? Last I checked, it could only _install_ applications which made it a slightly better option than Ninite. Chocolatey actually does everything you expect from a bona fide package manager.

    In my opinion, the best free software in existence(other than free Linux OS variants) is Blender. It's a really versatile, feature-rich software, with industry-level standard and uses. And can be used for modeling, rigging, animation, simulation, rendering, compositing and motion tracking, even video editing and game creation. Each of these fields are so complex in their own and tough to master.
    Blender support lots of formats, provides lots of plugins, optimizations, and even allows creating and using your own plugins.
    And it is regularly updated. Thanks to their development team. 👍👍

I agree with your statement, it is a Nightmare using windows to search for files. I would often use my smartphone ES File Explorer app to find files & folders on my NAS. The Everything file searching tool does this in seconds on the local desktop and network drives, for me, this is a Godsend. I don't know how your video got into my feed, I guess that too was a Godsend. Thank You.

      @@BioHunter1990 Yes, connecting your camera is exactly what you do--you can connect a Canon or Nikon DSLR, or a dedicated astrophotography camera. To make good use of it, you'd also want a suitable telescope mount, and with those two things, you can largely automate the process (though there are certainly more accessories that could be bought).

    I use the free VS Code with free WSL2 Ubuntu from Microsoft. VS Code is no longer light weight and takes hard work to setup correctly so that it can use Conda environments installed on Windows and on Linux sides correctly. Still sticking with it for now. Anaconda and Python are also free. I was also going to mention 7-Zip too. I use Paint on Windows for simple crops and resizing pictures. Your recommended programs for images look better.
