Do you like to install your operating system over and over again?. Software that don't mess up your system, increase security, privacy and stability. |
For those of you who are using Windows and are considering to use other platforms and / or mix operating system, use software that exist in both a Windows and a Linux version. This is a good step for future changes and makes you less dependent on your current environment and would help you when you want to make a transition. Check the Multi Platform software selections and see what you can use! The list contains software links/references, mostly to free software and many are maintained in both Windows, Linux and some for Mac versions.

It is always hard to know what files and parts of a Windows system is affected when you install a new windows program. One way to have some control over this is to
- install the software,
- make a copy of the installation directory (or even better, install it on another computer),
- uninstall the software completely with the programs uninstaller,
- try to run the program from the copied directory or computer.
If it works, all files for the program installs in the installation directory, do not require a lot of registry entries to run, is "self-contained" and only uses standard windows libraries. and the program is not scattering dll's all over the place. This also means that if you want to reinstall windows (maybe you do not want to, but have to, as your windows system is degenerating through time) then you may copy all your favo programs somewhere for backup and just copy them back after your windows reinstallation. |
