Cross-platform
Media
Windows

- it's kind of hard to use Windows once you get used to using this
Archive Utility

Package Managers

Mounting ISO, CUE images
Windows versions 8 and above natively support mounting ISOs. However CUE images are not supported. WinCDEmu is a lightweight, open-source disc emulator that supports mounting CUE, NRG, IMG, ISO, etc. images.
Master Control Panel / God Mode
(Misnomer; you probably won't use this either)
Shows a list of all the available settings on Windows in a single view.
Open it by exceuting the following command or saving it as a shortcut: explorer.exe shell:::{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}
MacOS

- maccy
- not sure why macOS doesn't have a native clipboard manager like Windows and KDE
Terminal Emulator
- iTerm2
- terminal with features you'd probably want
Package Manager
- HomeBrew
