   i started using this when i was in school. this was cool file manager+text editor it was all nice apart from the fact that if you don't understand any language apart from english then It will be difficult for you to understand it's advanced features like plugin's and all. i mainly used this for writing code.

   🏁 Competitors: there is no one who can compete with this vintage beast.

   👍 Pros:    This is very light weight file manager+code editor so even if you have old pc you can run this with full speed.|If you do competitive programming then this is for you this editor is so accurate that even sublime text fails in front of this vintage beast.|As name suggests file manger you can manage your files better than any other code editor's like clion,sublime text,visual studio code etc...|If you understand all features of far manager you will litrally get addicted to it.

   👎 Cons:    As most of the instructions are in russian or ukranian you might find it difficulty in start.|As most of the istructions for advanced features are in russian or ukranian you might find difficulty to install some plugins.

• [List] Let's talk about the software you can't live without. Here is my list

Process Hacker mentions (39)

• Today I learned you can pause the Windows Task Manager moving apps around

  Or Process Hacker (https://processhacker.sourceforge.io/) which IMO is even better. - Source: Hacker News / 9 months ago

• Windows Explorer memory leak (Windows 10)

  I can use Process Hacker and run "Reduce working set" on it, which makes explorer.exe instantly go down to ~100MB. However, it just starts leaking RAM again and it's a matter of hours until it grows back to several GB. Source: 9 months ago

• FACEIT Anti-cheat - Secure boot requirement update!

  I can't have a task manager style tool installed? It's completely safe and does NOTHING in terms of cheating, no other game has ever flagged it as false positive. Is this AC so bad that it sees the word "h4Ck3R" and thinks it needs to be removed? What else is this thing needlessly scanning my computer for? Source: 11 months ago

• cpu spikes

  If you are on the latest BIOS, the next thing I'd be looking at is something that's hitting I/O, either use Process Hacker: https://processhacker.sourceforge.io/ or task manager to try and catch the process causing the problem. Source: over 1 year ago
