On a fresh formatted PC what's the 1st software/app would you install ?

Going to edge installing chrome! Then search for unlimited trial winrar!

@elonmusk
7zip has no annoying popup

On Windows, Chrome.
On Mac, IntelliJ IDEA.

@BrianValente
On Linux: VirtualBox

Ie6 for compatibility testing

I'd take a backup of the system just in case.

Usually an operating system

Arch Linux without even booting to Windows or Witcher 3 if there is no Linux at reach

chrome.
then in no particular order: vlc, agent ransack, python 3.6, pycharm, python pacakges, fiddler, burp proxy, notepad++, HxD, 7zip, virtual box. And only if I have, Java.

The GeForce Experience; to actually *see* what I'm doing.

Install Ubuntu 16.04 LTS of course.

How about some anti-virus

@sathley We don't need one ;)

Chrome, then all the fucking IDEs, then Steam and all my Steam games, then lots of other shit

The first command I always run:
apt-get install htop vnstat vim iotop ioping curl git zsh mailutils

Ninite.com and then sereby.org aio installer

git clone git@github.com:serverwentdown/home.git
cd home
./install

@Cyanite it's just not me! 😀

Chromes and download sublime and other apps

Visual Studio

Visual Studio closely followed by SQL Server.

I start with gitbash , sublime, python lang and ide then chrome or firefox

Definitely Chrome and then VS Code.

Firefox, then VS Code, VS 2017, Notepad++, Telegram, Spotify, XAMPP, Qt, Office, Photoshop, Winrar. And then I'm ready to go.

Atom

Windows

Chrome
Voidware's Search Everything

0. operating system
1. drivers to get internet connectivity when required
2. firefox to google for solutions if I experience problems during the installation (I really hate smartphone keyboards)
3. system updates
4. missing drivers (graphic card ...)
5. veracrypt to encrypt the whole system drive if it's a windows machine
