The Software Store has thousands of free apps. Here are some popular ones people add:
Plays absolutely any video format you throw at it.
Edit photos and images. Like Photoshop, but free.

You don't need to know any of this. But if you're curious:
Each app runs in its own protected space. If one app has a problem, it can't affect anything else.
If an update causes a problem, you can go back to how things were before. One click.
The way BoringOS is built makes it extremely resistant to viruses and malware. You don't need antivirus software.
Unlike Windows, BoringOS doesn't slow down over time. It stays fast because the system stays clean.
Free. No account required. Takes about 15 minutes to install.
