You beat me to it on Irfanview @bbold . I have used that program for years. Great program!

PortableApps, for downloading, well, portable apps. Portable apps are great because you can run them off a flash drive or just avoid installing a lot of bloat to registry or Program Files folders.
A lot of other apps will give you the option, but this bundles them all together and you can pick and choose. This has been one of my flash drive toolbox items, along with UBCD, for maybe a decade or more. Those two together have about half of my regular diagnostic tools (partitioners, drive diagnostic utilities, etc.) and apps to get things up and running or fix a computer. I forget if DBAN is on there, but if not, that’s another one.
A live Linux distro on a flash drive is also very handy. You can use Rufus and a Linux iso to make one.
EDIT: Just realized OP said open source. Not sure if any I posted above are, but for Android I use F-Droid, a FOSS alternative to Google Play.
Also, for the desktop, I recently started playing around with FreeCAD, which is a FOSS CAD application, and Blender, a multipurpose 3D graphics/modeling program.
This thread is a gold mine for utilities. Going to have to check out Choclatey, looks very useful.
VS Code is amazing, MS knocked it out of the park with that one.

VS Code is awesome. I use it primarily for React development. Works great on the Mac. Microsoft has really doubled down on making their software work cross platform. Visual Studio on the Mac is also fantastic!
Got my new library card, and my library does not work with Libby, but they do ebooks, audiobooks and movies thru Hoopla. The library also uses Kanopy for movies, both services only allow streaming 5 movies a month. Kanopy has a deal with the library to allow watching The Great Courses without using credits.

I have two.
One for the desktop, calibre-ebook.com. Hands down, the best ebook management application. It does everything so masterfully.
My second is Nextcloud for the home server. Both it and the main add-ons/apps for it are indispensable to my work day.

Second Calibre. Indispensible for DRM-free ebooks. I use it with a Kobo.
Another app I like is Openaudible. I saw Leo mention it and had to give it a try. It lets you remove the DRM on your Audible books so you can play them on any device without needing the Audible app. It is java based, so runs on all OS’s.

Try overdrive, this might work!

Libby is made by Overdrive. The name of the app is ‘Libby,by Overdrive’. My library is not in the Overdrive network any more. I used the Overdrive a few years ago, but I guess when the upgraded the card system they switched digital services.
I read somewhere you can subscribe online to the Boston Public Library or the Brooklyn Library or some other such libraries which usually have huge catalogues on those apps. Even if you do not live in the area.

I agree with everyone about Notepad++ and I use it daily as text editor. I also use another text editor called EverEdit. I use this one exclusively to take notes on my projects, meetings, tasks, etc. Because you can actually script your own syntax highlighting (I find it easier than Notepad++), I have developed my own “notes” highlighting over the years. And it has all the bells and whistles of most of the similar programs. I think the last ‘free’ version was 2.9 though. 3.0 and later became shareware. Anyway, this forum seemed like a good place to share that concept, maybe someone else has done this before too.
My mom’s library uses Hoopla and Kanopy too - she likes them a bunch, but hates the limits. So, where I live, I can join a number of Libraries. I’m currently a member of 3 - you might see if you have access to any other libraries to get even better access. I love the Great Courses benefit you get!
I just learned about “Everything”. It’s for searching filenames.
https://www.voidtools.com/
I installed it in my testing Virtual Machine and it seemed pretty fast and efficient.
Still looking for a file indexer that searches file contents (like source code). I used to use one called WinSearch32 many years ago, but it seems to have gone away.
It’s not open source, but I use a text expanding software called atext all the time. I believe it’s free on Windows, but I paid for the Mac version.
I have the free trial of Keyboard Maestro that I’m trying to learn because it seems way more powerful.
Yes yes yes! You can ‘check out’ regular books for free too, and read them on your phone.
4K Video Downloader for downloading Youtube videos. I don’t know what the free limits are, as I used it for months without hitting them, and ended up paying for it just because I liked it so much.
I know a couple of the paid perks is it’ll download an entire playlist, and any new videos to a site you subscribe to. But for one-offs, which is fine for most people, the free version is great.
Another free piece of software I have used for many years is MailStore Home which is great for Email archiving and searching. It is very fast to search and a great way to backup and restore all you email accounts.

I second this recommendation. I use it on my work computer to archive my Outlook mail, since Outlook decides to corrupt its mail files from time to time. I have email archived (and searchable) in MailStore Home for the past several years.
