10 Software for Productivity
I would recommend installation of the following software to kick start on your prodductivity.
Github Desktop is an open source software by Github official.
Visual Studio Code is a streamlined code editor with support for development operations like debugging, task running, and version control. It aims to provide just the tools a developer needs for a quick code-build-debug cycle and leaves more complex workflows to fuller featured IDEs, such as Visual Studio IDE. VScode is supportedd by Microsoft. It also has a nice integration with Jupyter and various other SDK tools.
Anaconda Individual Edition is the world’s most popular Python distribution platform with over 25 million users worldwide. It is an open source, flexible solution that provides the utilities to build, distribute, install, update, and manage software in a cross-platform manner. Conda makes it easy to manage multiple data environments that can be maintained and run separately without interference from each other.
[WinSCP] is a popular SFTP client and FTP client for Microsoft Windows! Copy file between a local computer and remote servers using FTP, FTPS, SCP, SFTP, WebDAV or S3 file transfer protocols.
The Windows Subsystem for Linux lets developers run a GNU/Linux environment -- including most command-line tools, utilities, and applications -- directly on Windows, unmodified, without the overhead of a traditional virtual machine or dualboot setup. You can choose your favorite GNU/Linux distributions from the Microsoft Store, run common command-line tools, bash shell scripts and GNU/Linux command-line applications, install additional software using your own GNU/Linux distribution package manager e.g. sudo apt-get in ubuntu, invoke Windows applications using a Unix-like command-line shell and vice versa.
Microsoft Edge is a cross-platform web browser created and developed by Microsoft. The Chromium-based Edge replaced Internet Explorer (IE) in Windows 11, as the default web browser. Note that Zotero has an Edge Extension to allow save. Edge also comes with a very handy inspect element functionality for web-crawling.
Firefox is made by Mozilla Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of the not-for-profit Mozilla Foundation, and is guided by the principles of the Mozilla Manifesto. I use this as a secondary browser for simple one-off tasks.
Zotero is a reference manager. It is designed to store, manage, and cite bibliographic references, such as books and articles. In Zotero, each of these references constitutes an item. More broadly, Zotero is a powerful tool for collecting and organizing research information and sources.
