I'm curious to know about the tools that impacted your teams/departments/company the most in a positive way, and what the impact was. It could be anything from data like Metabase, analytics like Heap, code editors, LLMs, project management tools, etc. Anything that improved your teams work.
After years with the same stack, it becomes harder to follow trends and discover new tools. My goal is to discover and build a list of some nice, solid tools that have proven impact.
When it works, Outlook is not bad. But Word and Excel are just a pain in the a*. But Windows has too many problems. The virus anti-malware-crap-something is always running and should be removed.
Explorer is just the worst Windows program. It should be removed. I replace it with another Explorer.
It is all too bad. If we had Linux, it would be amazing. We still have email, programs to access even Windows servers, but access all Linux servers it is just amazing.
Linux desktop has it all. All I need, don't have some games and there is specific software for Windows that might not work on Linux, but don't use it. Or have a VM to have that crap.
So not much help from me as the only I think you can use is Zabbix, that is a great tool for Linux and Windows.
Ollama is also great and VirtualBox or Vmware Workstation, but I think VBox is a little slower than VWWorkstation.
