10 Free Software That Are Actually Great!

[@BrettInTech]

Update: Atom will be officially discontinued later this year. Visual Studio Code is another one we highly recommend... What free software do you use? Thanks for watching :)

[@raymondgradzewicz]

Audacium, it's an alternative to Audacity now that Audacity has implemented telemetry. It works on both Windows and Linux.

[@capedcrusader5282]

@@raymondgradzewicz I am not sure about this but I think that the Audacity Team apologized for the Telemetry and said that they won't implement it anymore... Correct me if I am wrong.

[@raymondgradzewicz]

@@capedcrusader5282 True, but muse group still owns audacity and they may only have 180'd their decision because of the backlash. Audacium is community driven, not company driven like Audacity now is.

PotPlayer. For me, this is the best video player. For this, I've uninstalled VLC. One problem is that, LavFilters has to be installed seperately.

[@robbieguerrero2648]

Thanks!

[@V3ntilator]

Free programs is often better and faster than paid versions. Paid versions have to be bloated so people think they get more value, but often they don't.

[@WorriorXD]

This is so helpful! Thank you!!!

[@bobgreene2892]

Really like the brisk, concise narration, use of chaptering, and the presenter"s depth of experience. Eagerly subscribed.

[@williamlucid8907]

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.

[@disconer]

When I need to add subtitles to a movie - Handbrake is the one choice tool. I can't hear without subtitles ;-)

[@brooke1639]

Thanks for the info about raw therapee, it looks real interesting.

[@lukeelliott2128]

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]

These days chocolatey is mostly replaced with winget that is pre installed on any windows 10 system.

[@RogerioPereiradaSilva77]

@@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.

[@nelsonlobo3615]

Ah . Chocolate. I love it

[@Reelmoana]

Wow, thank you so much! This softwares are very useful 💙

[@cypher3905]

I highly recommend using VSCodium instead of Atom(discontinued) or VSCode for those who would like a telemetry-free software.

[@julius7506]

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. 👍👍

[@NebMotion]

agreed, blender has changed mylife

Everything is the best, and been using it for the last 3 years - it sure takes the anxiety out of trying to find files

[@itsybitzzy]

I've been using "Everything" since 2014 until now... It's very useful whenever I'm searching for a specific filename ...

[@ibrahimnoor2371]

Thank you for your amazing work

[@harryanderson9775]

Everything has really come in handy the very first time you introduced it to us. I've been hooked ever since.

[@T0NYD1CK]

I agree. The Everything program is super useful. It certainly knocks the standard Windows search facility into a cocked hat.

[@HendrayatnaTafianoto]

I came across Everything probably 12 years ago and have been using it ever since. The speed of search is really unbeatable.

[@johnloisaraviso4990]

[@tigreonice2339]

What free software do you recommend to burn DVDs? Is Ashampoo a good one?

[@mohitsurani6204]

Very welcoming. Thank you.

[@hollibv]

Dude!!! This Everything search tool is a time saver. I have a massive amount of files & folders on my NAS and several network computers. 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.

Nice List

[@hengkur45]

Great review, thank you!

[@datasciyinfo5133]

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.

[@jodyody2543]

you are the best dude

[@danbrown586]

It's a niche application, but it's hard to beat N.I.N.A. to run a telescope and camera for deep-sky astrophotography. Free, open-source, but Windows-only.

[@BioHunter1990]

I’m curious how do you use software like this? Do you connect your camera to a computer while using it? Like, what do you need to do this kinda thing?

[@danbrown586]

@@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). Check out the channels of Nebula Photos and Cuiv the Lazy Geek for lots more information.

[@samanthaclarke1957]

Everything has saved me from going crazy many times looking for files

[@Iomah1]

Patchmypc is very similar to Ninite and does all updates silently also. Contains most of what you mentioned. Good video , thx

[@coachace123]

Nice list! I realize a list of 10 restricts to the most common use cases, but I would have included 7-zip, since it's lightweight, quick and has nice encryption features (just now doing my taxes... so I needed those encryption capabilities!)

[@hegdesrinivasm]

Yeah, I personally love 7-Zip over Winzip or any other compression tool!

[@cekan14]

I just wished there was a dark mode for the UI... it hurts when using it at night.

Oh, man, Thank You for recommending "Everything!" I've always Hated searching in Windows Explorer!

[@PiltdownSuperman]

"Everything" at 9:10 was frustrating at first because it ignored my external desktop hard drive. I had to search, then I learned that it can be told to index this as well, and now it's fine. Seems like Win 10 got hurt feelings, since some thing it found before are not showing up.

[@spawncap9009]

Love everything. Use options to add your hard drives. I have 4 external hard drives hooked up to my pc and it searches all of them in less time than it takes windows to search one folder. Remeber the search line takes file masks like the dos command prompt does. So if you have a *, etc it wont take it like a normal text search line will.

[@daniel8215]

Have known about Ninite for a while, and knew the initial software setup value it provides. I did not realize until watching this video that Ninite will also update your software if you just rerun your initial download. That could come in handy for me, as I use a lot of the Ninite-supported applications. Thanks!

The enormous underrated "Irfan View" and the unknown fantastic working subtitle extracter/editor and so much more: "Subtitle Edit". Both freeware.

[@jbluther]

Irfan View is more than a viewer. Its batch image operations are fantastic.

[@computerjantje]

@@jbluther I agree, it is a fantastic little program and I use it for batch operations all the time.:)

[@dennismathinjwa702]

​@@jbluther As is its slideshow and scan capabilities

[@computerjantje]

Yeah the batch possibilities are fantastic. I use it to publish photo series on my website. Create a more normal internet size photo with my name on in the corner and also create the webpage thumbnails with batch. Batch functions like: resize, light, contrast, sharpening and adding text in all kinds of ways makes this very fast starting, 'small' program better then all large size photo editors. Like I said: very underrated :)
