Reaper. Its simple, fast, and no licensing bull. Steam. Just works, simple and easy to use. Copy-Paste the Steam folder to your new system to move your entire game library. ZoomIt by Sysinternals - excellent, excellent tool that has improved all my presentations/screen-share sessions. Everything by David Carpenter - super fast system wide search for files that has bookmarks and other features like match using file name/file path/regex etc. ShareX - Very useful screenshoting/screenrecording + more tool with automation capabilities like auto upload to imgur, etc.

shareX is a godsend, I wish MacOS had as good as it

I've never used a more stable, feature-filled, and affordable DAW than Reaper. Making music with it is a lot of fun

> Steam. Just works, simple and easy to use. Copy-Paste the Steam folder to your new system to move your entire game library. I use Steam, GOG, Epic, Battle.NET, Origin, Uplay/Ubisoft Connect. Steam and B.Net are only ones that can handle this smoothly and it's INFURIATING.

Reaper also came to my mind. The “everything is a track“ philosophy feels so natural to me now while other DAWs seem convoluted. I look back to my early Cubase and Samplitude days with amusement. Also, Reaper basically never crashes for me.

When Steam first started being a thing, I decried it as the death of physical media and fun game inserts. I vowed never to use it, because of what I perceived as the locked down steam launcher controlling access/ability to shut off access to games that I purchased with my own money. It seemed like too close to a 'license' to play. Then I used it for the first time and realized how stupid easy it was compared to managing all of the physical disks and keys and what-not. I mean, I wasn't wrong. But it is easier to use.

  Years ago, when MS Flight Simulator X came to Steam, I bought it even though I had MSFSX on DVD. Eliminating the need for the discs as well as removing the silly DRM in favor of Steam's far more sane DRM was worth the $10.

  I also hated steam on day 1. I just wanted to play counterstrike! But obviously Gabe was right!

> Copy-Paste the Steam folder to your new system to move your entire game library. Can't do that. I don't own a hard disk big enough to hold my entire game library. So I have the most frequent games in an SSD, other games in several HDDs, and so on.

I've been deploying Everything to anyone who loses their documents on our employee workstations. It's a wonderful tool; how Windows search should work.
