Greenshot, although MS snipping tool has a cool OCR that can grab text from screenshots which is really cool so I use both at work.

7zip, VLC, MS PowerToys, KeepassX, Firefox, been using those for a long time now.

Ah, OneNote, been using that for work since I was in University, around 2005ish. Unfortunately they stopped development on the old version, made a shit mobile version which also seems to have stalled, so not sure if it's going to get any future updates. But it's still good. If people have good alternatives please let me know.

As a OneNote user with similar time, there's nothing else that compares.

I've been testing stuff for years, and nothing else really comes close.

You can replicate the notebook structure with some other apps, but it's not the same.

I stick with OneNote 2016 on all my machines, since they can all sync via LAN with just a share.

The modern app crap is garbage, and I resent the mobile app requiring OneDrive - so my mobile devices get one specific notebook.

I also recommend QOwnNotes in addition, mostly because it's lightweight. I found that if you wouldwant to do handwriting, xournal++ or Rnote works well. Rnote has an upper hand because it has an infinite canvas feature, kind of like onenote
