software-rec deals with all questions referring to recommendations for software or applications for particular purposes that will run on the local computer.
How to write a good software-rec question?
Software recommendations should be specific. "What is the best …" is usually not a good starting point, as it leads to biased answers. When writing a question looking for specific software recommendations, make sure to include an aspect that can be objectively measured, for example:
- performance (execution speed)
- usability
- feature richness
- compatibility with hardware or other software
- free and open source vs. paid and closed source
- et cetera
