software i use

now everything i link to here (and nearly everything i use) is, generally speaking, free, and sometimes also open-source, not for any sort of grand ideological reason but because i'm a cheap bastard and extremely paranoid about downloading viruses from sketchy sites.

for reference i have a windows 10 laptop so some of the items here might not be compatible with or work differently on your machine etc etc

items with a heart (❦) list marker are my favorites <3
