These are software I love to use. I don't assume they're the best, and if you have any similar suggestions I'd love to hear them. There's a heavy Windows OS slant to this list. SunVox - Sequencer and tracker. The user interface is a big evolution from more traditional trackers because of how visual it is. This reduces the barrier to getting started, but it also make using the program simply more enjoyable. http://www.warmplace.ru/soft/sunvox/ http://www.warmplace.ru/soft/sunvox/ VirtualDub - Video processing. This is my go-to tool for simple video editing. It remains the quickest and easiest way I know of to make animated GIFs from video. http://www.virtualdub.org/ http://www.virtualdub.org/ HxD - Hex editor. Handles GB scale files very well. https://mh-nexus.de/en/hxd/ https://mh-nexus.de/en/hxd/ Foxit Reader - PDF reader. There's some conflict in the past with bundling adware installers with the software, I hope that practice is long gone. This is the most full feature Adobe Reader alternative I know of. https://www.foxitsoftware.com/ https://www.foxitsoftware.com/ Daemon Tools Lite - Virtual disc drive manager. Unfortunately limits to 4 drives. https://www.daemon-tools.cc/products/dtLite https://www.daemon-tools.cc/products/dtLite Space Sniffer - Disc space visualization. The clean look and intuitive visual interface is why I prefer this over WinDirStat. http://www.uderzo.it/main_products/space_sniffer/index.html http://www.uderzo.it/main_products/space_sniffer/index.html Other software I use, but which I expect is already well known: 7-Zip, Audacity, Blender, GIMP, ImgBurn, Inkscape, IntelliJ IDEA, Kodi, Libre Office, Notepad++, PuTTY, Unreal Engine 4, VLC

I'd recommend Sumatra PDF and WinCDEmu over Foxit and Daemon Tools.

  I tried out both of these today and I agree. Sumatra feels snappier than Foxit. It doesn't have as many buttons to interface with, but there are common keyboard shortcuts for the things I use. I dislike that the Advanced Options do not have a GUI interface, they're edited by modifying a text file. WinCDEmu is exactly what I wanted. I also appreciate that both programs are portable.
