Allows easy moving and resizing of windows like everyday window managers on Linux, so alt-leftclick-drag from anywhere in a window will move it, and alt-rightclick-drag from anywhere in a window will resize it.
2018-12-27 – Replaced by AltDrag some time ago.

Like a good Linux window manager, allSnap allows Windows’ applications to snap to the main screen area or to one-another.
That is, when dragging or resizing a window, it will try to cling to a nearby window. This makes it easier and faster to adjust windows “just right”.

A top-down action fighting semi-roleplaying game.
I played quite a bit of it until early 2015. Spiral Knights is an exceptional game, but unfortunately as of the last time I played it, it lacks balance and so it lacks variety.
This is an exception to Java sucks, therefore everything made with Java sucks.

A virtual desktop program.
Absolutely mandatory.
I used this on Windows XP and Windows 8.1. Windows 10 has reasonable virtual desktop functionality built-in. See using Windows 10 virtual desktops.

A 2.5D hack-and-slash combat-roleplaying game.
I played a bit of this a while back, maybe early/mid-2015. I liked it, but I moved on to other things.

Provides a reasonable environment for working with Git while trapped on Windows. A console window with Bash, various everyday linux console applications, and git.
I loved it, and used it regularly for sane scripting when trapped on Windows, via bash, as well as for git itself.
I replaced it with Cygwin/Babun.
Not related to Windows Subsystem for Linux.

A software application that can block ads from being displayed on your web browser.
This looks like it hasn’t been updated in forever, because there are references to it being tested under Windows 95/98.
