I want to know what kind of apps/programs y'all recommend to people or just use personally. This is just in general, could be anything from a game to a media codec. I personally use Linux but stuff for other operating systems is welcome too.

Voidtools Everything is a gamechanger on Windows. It can search my entire PC instantly opposed to Windows Explorer taking minutes. You can also configure it to work with 3rd party file managers like Freecommander and eliminate Explorer from your workflow entirely.

Don't really have that problem on my Linux distro but that would've helped so much when I was on windows. Idk how many times I searched for something and just left the room to wait.

Yea, I don't have to do anything special on Linux. Although if I used it more I'd probably be looking for some kind of file manager app.
