Recommended Software
WizTree
Running low on space? WizTree can tell you what folders & files are taking up the most of it. Good for snooping around if you're not sure which of your downloaded programs or directories might be hogging your SSD.
ProtonVPN
Best VPN provider out there at the moment. Not too much more to be said here. Supports P2P traffic, kill switch, profiles, and has a servers across the globe.
Lossless Cut
Good Movie Maker replacement. Very simple video editor. Easy to split videos.
MPV
Very lightweight media player that supports many file types. Unlike VLC, however, it also supports motion interpolation, which is very nice. Downside is that it must be compiled yourself. I've compiled version 0.34 for direct download here.
Bluetooth Audio Receiver
If you're at your computer with your headset on, sometimes you want to watch a video on your phone without having to take the headset off to hear it. This program solves that problem. If you connect your phone to your computer's Bluetooth, you'll be able to hear audio from your phone on your computer.
Macrium Reflect
This is a great system backup tool if you're on Windows. You can set automated backups, and the software can create a bootable ISO image for you to put on a flash drive to restore from. Relatively cheap for a license, when compared to other products.
Lethe
This is a nice little open source CLI tool to securely wipe a drive. Has not been updated in a few years, but it still works. Use "lethe list" to list all drives on the system, then "lethe wipe drivename" to wipe that drive.
