    What I think you missed is Notepad++ for Windows. There's no point in recommending a raw text editor for Linux - it's like a blasphemy, but on Windows, this Notepad++ marvel is absolutely unrivaled.
  • @AdventureSMBW
    I just found you. You are the only youtuber Ive ever checked out that knows what programs actually are best. Thanks for your awesomness.
  • @fredchacha3355
    Thank you very much, your videos are precise and insightful
  • @sapelesteve
    As usual, terrific program recommendations from Brett! Yet another video that I have to share with friends & family! Thanks Brett! 👍👍
  • @bambazam3983
    Excellent video Brett! No fluff, no BS, just the info people need. Well done.
  • @kimchiman1000
    I had a look around at your video titles and thought I'd sub. But when I went to do that just now, it turns out I'm already subbed. Glad I did!
  • @AmazingPhilippines1
    I am using several of these programs based on your previous recommendations. MANY THANKS.
  • @gregashmore5657
    Love your stuff! I have most of it, but you know learning curve for changeovers :)
  • @kdhavle
    I love Libre Office, mainly for its database. It is lightweight, and just right for my needs as a freelancer. I use it to create my invoices and other reports.
  • @bioLarzen
    Great recommendation for those who really rarely look for free replacements for usually paid software - otherwise these are basically the best known and most widely used free alternatives. Sure, most of them are popular and much used for a reason.
  • @Bianchi77
    Cool info, thanks for sharing, well done :)
  • @jbluther
    Great video, as usual, Brett. Can you do a review of the Proton suite of products? You've recommended their VPN in the past, but now they have other webapps including cloud storage and a password manager. I would be interested in your thoughts on their offerings.

    Blender & Gimp have been the first programs i install on any new computer or laptop for decades...just for fun. I highly recommend them to anyone with a creative flair or curiosity. While Blender can seem daunting at first glance that is only because it is a powerhouse that can do just about anything you can imagine across different mediums from game/3D design to animation/film and anything between with a massive community that provide tutorials on YouTube so you can jump in and learn at your own speed.
