Looking for software suggestions

[robkelk]

Wow, things got busy here - I haven't had a chance to install nearly as much software as I had hoped to. (No wi-fi on my router, so I have to disconnect something to connect the new laptop to download software - which means weekends only for software installation until the accounts are moved over from the current laptop.)

Status report on the new laptop, with a few blanks in the third list that I'd still appreciate opinions on:

Installed:

• Anti-virus: Panda Dome
  
• Web browser: FireFox with uBlock Origin and Privacy Badger
  
• Text editor: Notepad++
  
• Graphics editor: GIMP
  
• Office suite: LibreOffice
  

To download and install:

• 3D Image creator: Daz Studio
  
• Email client: Thunderbird
  
• Graphics converter: IrfanView
  
• Media Player: VLC Media Player
  
• SSH client: PuTTY
  

To decide on (or find), then download and install:

• DVD authoring software:
  
• E-Reader: Calibre?
  
• FTP client:
  
• PDF reader: Adobe? (must be able to complete PDF forms)
  
• Zip editor/converter: 7zip? IZarc? WinRar? Pearzip? (must be able to open gz and tar formats)
  

(Yeah, my ISP still uses FTP. Still has a bank of dial-up modems, too.)
