So, in this video I’ll show you 10 must have software for your computer. All of which are completely free with all the features included with most being available for Windows, Linux, and Mac.

[@peterjansen7929]

Panopreter Basic, for turning text files, including *.rtf, into speech in most major installed languages. Dr. Geo and EuklidDynaGeo for the constructions of Euclidian geometry. Dr. Geo is rather basic and some of the documentation and samples have been poorly (or not at all!) translated from French, but the program's native file format gives amazingly clear output with a small file size. EuklidDynaGeo has far more constructions, but to see slanted lines instead of staircases you have to export as a picture first (and change from the program's standard to a good export resolution). Again, language can be a problem, as the last version has never been translated into English. So you'll either have to work with the program in German (which is what I do) or settle for a slightly less sophisticated product.

It’s so satisfying that some people is still calling software “programs” instead of “apps” everything is an app now

[@quantumleaper]

Do you realize a program is an application? App is just an abbreviation for application. I guess you have never programmed on a computer since if you had you would know that. Ignorance must truly be bliss for you...

For the image viewer and vlc player how much space does it take up my laptop doesn't have much space so I'm conservative on what I'm gonna download and when

[@IcoKirov]

You can't check that yourself? I don't think it's a lot, 100-200 mb maybe. I could be wrong though. And I hate to be that guy, but if you are using windows, you may consider switching to Linux if you need more space. Most distros take 3-4 time less space after install. Some are even about 1-2 gigs after install. And those are usually quite lightweight as well

[@tonylawlor8833]

All very well until you discover Brave for instance requires you to have a much more up to date ios than say Chrome or Safari does, both happily run on the older ver of ios as do other browsers, Brave does not. This situation effectively means you have to get yourself a newer ipad to use Brave on your iPad, if Chrome can run on an olderish iPad why can't Brave?

[@mrdovie47]

For my Zorin OS 15 computer, I like "Screenshot" due to it's easy use, and "Cilpit" to save copied text, and "Keep Note" for saving all sorts of info and pictures from recipes to Electronic notes. Keep Note is taking the place of AZZ Carfile which doesn't work well on Linux even with Wine loaded.

[@PiltdownSuperman]

Open Shot looks interesting and I'll give it a try. I never needed much, having used the movie maker that came with Windows 7. When I had to move on to Windows 10, I wanted to replace it with something that had those same basic functions. If the replacement has more, fine, maybe I can grow into it.

[@Addam3000]

You probably already now, but I'll still point out because I took a while to notice, but Windows 10 has its default video editor....Haven't tried myself though, I recommended to my girlfriend for college purposes and it worked for her

[@bettanamedcrimson6646]

I tried openshot and yes it does have all the basic functions and some advanced ones but the UI is a bit outdated

[@PiltdownSuperman]

@@Addam3000 Thanks, I'll give that a look. Interesting how some of those things are thrown into the OS, but it often takes word of mouth, videos, and so on to tell us about them. I just learned yesterday that they gave us minimalistic web camera softare.

I have just downloaded ImageGlass. Using it to rotate a NEF file, It rendered the image with a sepia tone and modified the file such that it could not be opened in lightroom. It might be ok for jpgs but that's about all. Try Honeyview as a faster and better rendition viewer for most image files. For NEF files I use Nomacs, which will rotate an NEF file but without the damage. I have already uninstalled it. I would put ImageGlass in the category of "if you really really must"
