But I'll pick Mint's grandparent distro Debian. All Mint really has over pure Debian is a better default desktop look/feel/config. So I boot with a Mint disk, export the settings via dconf, install Debian, import settings.

I don't back up the OS stuff or installed applications, and my home directory lives on a RAID-5 volume so I'm covered for hardware failure.

Picking a single app as a favorite is impossible, but if I had to pick one then I'd say GCC would be it, since I can use it to build any other app out there from source.
*nix > Windows
