A BitTorrent client.

Meant to be an open-source clone of uTorrent, it does do a very good job of mimicing it.

An awkward early-access survival game which features wandering around, being killed by boars and trees, and attempting to build structures.

I might have been able to deal with boring and ugly, but the interface is shit; pass. Maybe when this is released I'll care again.

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!

Lets you run Linux GUI software on Windows Subsystem for Linux.

Part of "VcXsrv Windows X Server", but I don't use any other component.

Brave is a web browser that uses components from Chrome (Chromium) ^[ 2 ] specifically Brave , to build a more security-conscious browser which also has a server-independent commenting mechanism like an old ICQ project had.

Like Chrome, it's missing fundamental things.
