Non-Linux

Windows

You shouldn’t use Windows.

It’s non-free (as in freedom), bloated spyware made to make computers as miserable as possible only used by corporate-slave boomers who delusionally believe it’s good because some debt-based billionaire lied saying so once.

However, if you are forced to use it for whatever reason, or know someone who dogishly refuses to install & use Linux, this short list of programs may prove useful:

First, remove Microsoft spyware & other pre-installed jokes of programs with Windows 10 Debloater.

• 7zip – Archiver
• Notepad++ – Text Editor
• JPEGView – Image Viewer
• mpv – Video Player
• foobar2000 – Music Player (non-free)
• GIMP – Image Editor
• MuPDF – Document Viewer
• RSS Guard – RSS Reader
• KeePassXC– Password Manager
• Gpg4win – File Encryption
• Syncthing – File Transfer
• BleachBit – System Cleaner
• CCleaner – System Cleaner (non-free)

To manually install a program:

• Put its folder in C:\Program Files\, or if 32 bit, in C:\Program Files (x86)\.
• Make a shortcut to the .exe & place it on the desktop.
• Or, when opening a file: Open with → Choose another app.

iPhone

You shouldn’t use iOS.

However, if you are forced to use it for whatever reason, or know someone who is, this short list of apps may be of use:

• N/A – Image Viewer
• Outplayer – Video Player (mpv)
• MuPDF – Document Viewer
• Firefox Focus – Web Browser
• KeePassium – Password Manager (keepass)
• Synctrain – File Transfer (syncthing)
