Last thread: Posting an updated infograph, changelog:

>removed win7
there is less than a year of support left

>made activator its own column
so it can indicate if its open source, and leave space for more explanation

>changed Do Not Spy 10 to W10Privacy
same single-use purpose, but more features, and is freeware

>changed Speccy to HWiNFO
suggested before. more features, opensource. people who just want to post in Speccy threads will get it anyways

>added simplewall
cool software. tinywall has been recommended before, however my experiences shown that it's buggy and also not free as in freedom.

>added fman
lots of anons suggested it

>added qwant
suggested by multiple anons

discarded suggestions:

>Add PDFXChange to the PDF section. Fairly good reader and comes a bunch of tools
paid bloated software with little-used features (most dont edit pdfs)

>replace Bleachbit with Privazer
too many fake or useless features, GUI also looks like shit

>add Riot.im
although i use and like it, it's not nearly popular enough

>REMOVE VLC
no. many people want something that just werks for the normal formats.

>add musicbee
i couldn't download it to test, their site gave http 500 constantly
we also kinda have too many music players anyways

>i forgot my trip for posting the graph
i'm probably retarded idk, not really into tripfag thing anyways

>everything in this section is worthless, registry cleaners have been a meme since windows XP
most of these were recommended by anons, i only used CCleaner

>>VLC
>and in the current year even
it doesn't work well, but it works anywhere.

>>@riseup.net

i might not be into the communist thing, but the service and encryption is very nice. I'd rather trust them than protonmail.

this and ninite has been recommended before, I plan to look into them, and maybe add a Package Manager section.
