A video editor, and more; too much more.
A terrible initial impression; it requires some patience, watching a tutorial and following instructions. Don’t wander around; don’t use strange features, and stay in the “Edit” view!

A straightforward and capable Windows text editor which also has a portable version.
This seems like a nice daily driver for little things. I shouldn’t replace Geany with it though since I want something cross-platform.
It’s really stupid that it doesn’t have configurable shortcuts unless I want to compile it from source.

A way to run Linux commandline software from a specialized console, similar to how a command prompt runs DOS or PowerShell.
It works well, but it’s imperfect.
Sometimes mis-named Bash on Ubuntu on Windows or Bash on Windows

Chocolatey: gimp
https://www.gimp.org/
An incredibly capable (and therefore very convoluted) image editor.
I use this:
.svg files to .jpg or .png.png files which have transparency, since mspaint.exe can’t do that.Often called “The Gimp”.

I use this for video creation, and streaming on YouTube and Twitch.
Requires a hell of a lot of fiddling, and is missing some incredibly basic things.
This is regarding “version one” You probably want Windows Subsystem for Linux 2.
