  • ubuntu-pro-client

    Ubuntu Pro Client for offerings from Canonical

  • Try Ubuntu Pro beta with a free personal subscription on up to 5 machines. Learn more at https://ubuntu.com/pro.

  • WindowsSpyBlocker

    Block spying and tracking on Windows

  • Windows Spy Blocker = This will add a bunch of Windows IP addresses to your Windows Firewall. The basic settings should not impede functionality. It should also allow you to switch ntp (how Windows sets it's Clock) to more open alternatives.

  • portmaster

    ๐Ÿ” Love Freedom - โŒ Block Mass Surveillance

  • Then when I've done all that, I plug in the ethernet, and install a firewall. Usually either Safing's Portmaster, or one that comes in with an anti-virus (like ESET). Sadly, they usually require an internet connection to download the files needed to install.

  • ThisIsWin11

    Discontinued The real PowerToys for Windows 11

  • This Is Windows 11 = Is a tool that has a bunch of things in one. It'll allow you to change back to the old File Manager, it'll change the taskbar back to the older version, it'll help remove bloat, and install new software, and so on.

  • privatezilla

    ๐Ÿ‘€๐Ÿ‘ฎ๐Ÿข๐Ÿ”ฅPerforms a privacy & security check of Windows 10

  • Privatezilla = Is an open source alternative to ShutUp 10, but be careful what you enable/disable. It has options that will impede functionality.

  • privacy.sexy

    Open-source tool to enforce privacy & security best-practices on Windows, macOS and Linux, because privacy is sexy

  • Privacy-Sexy = Is an open source .bat creator, that's very powerful. Even more with Privatezilla, be VERY careful what you do with it. I find it's the best one to remove Edge, and Cortana (if not already done so).

  • hardentools

    List of tools for hardened operating system security (by ph00lt0)

  • Hardentools = It's good for security. It'll help (if you work at a company) setup often mandatory security patches for you. Even if you're a regular user, I'd click on Advanced (Do not just use as-is), and tick anything that says "Office", and "Acrobat".

  • Pi-hole

    A black hole for Internet advertisements

  • TinyNvidiaUpdateChecker

    Windows tool to check for NVIDIA GPU driver updates

  • Also Tiny Nvidia Update Checker. Checks for updates and prompts you when there's a new version.

  • hid-fanatecff

    Driver to support FANATEC input devices, in particular ForceFeedback of various wheel-bases

  • The fanatec wheel should be supported by this HID driver, but I have not tested it out. And the Rift S is just a no go.
