What are your (almost) "permanently open softwares" on your computer ?

Mine are discord, rocketchat and sublime

Discord...

My programs running on startup: Firefox, Thunderbird, Tresorit, Nextcloud, Slack, Discord, Skype
And then I start PHPStorm and DataGrip.

At work, many.

At home, none.
Except for programs that stay in the background I avoid any unnecessary programs and only start those I need at the moment.

Web whatsapp and slack rn, used to also have discord

Visual Studio Code, Slack, Outlook, Google Calendar.

Notable, slack, whatsapp web, np++, git bash, winscp, putty, ubuntu shell (wsl), chrome, openvpn, anyconnect cisco, anyconnect palo alto.

Only Notable starts up with the system though.

Spotify, Terminal, Keepass & Pidgin

Terminal, codekit, and a browser. Maybe filezilla too but that's been less frequent.

Terminal, Keepass, Redshift and FIrefox to some extent.

VS2019, Notepad++, Word, Edge (canary), Trello, Teams, telegram, Mail

Webstorm, Firefox, Slack, Terminal

Slack, iTerm, Visual Studio, Chrome, Sequel Pro and Roller Coaster Tycoon

Chromium, Steam, Discord, Thunderbird, QBittorrent.

Well, it is easier to say what is NOT OSS on my PC. None, thankfully

At home: Vivaldi, Thunderbird, Spotify, Terminal with htop, Slack, Telegram.

At work: Vivaldi, Outlook, Skype, Excel, IAR, Internet Explorer, Total Commander, Speed Crunch, Task Manager.

@Nanos I support a life safety system built by Honeywell, it runs on Windows 10. If it doesn't restart at least once every 25 days it crashes. If you forget to make sure Windows update is still set to manual after doing a manual update it bricks.
