LocalSend: Open-source, cross-platform file sharing to nearby devices
You first start one server on a desktop/laptop which has the software, and then any client (Android, iOS, PlayStation, Kindle, etc) with a web browser (no need to install any client software) can upload or download files from it.
You can download prebuilt binaries for x86-64 Linux, Windows, or Mac OS (sorry, no prebuilt binaries for Apple Silicon, but they could be added if there is sufficient demand) from https://github.com/akovacs/uploadserver/releases/ or compile from source using a nightly rust toolchain if you prefer.
Compared to cloud services or `python -m http.server 8000`, this is extremely fast since the server is written in rust, it is fairly simple (compiled and stripped binary is typically less than 3MB), it sends everything over local LAN, it seems to handle large files (over 4GB) fairly well, and you only need to install the software on one machine.

Localsend: Open-Source Airdrop Alternative
If you don't have a network connection, you can setup an adhoc hotspot on any Android 9+ (Settings > Network & internet > Hotspot & tethering https://support.google.com/android/answer/9059108) or iPhone (Settings > Personal Hotspot), then connect to it using any WiFi-enabled device.
A useful filesharing utility that a friend wrote is https://github.com/akovacs/uploadserver - it's basically a nicer version of:
python -m http.server 8000

Croc: Easily and securely send things from one computer to another
Basically just start the file server, and then navigate to it using the web browser of your choice on any device (no need for a client application).
Download prebuilt binaries from https://github.com/akovacs/uploadserver/releases/
Or install from source if you prefer:
# install rust toolchain

LANDrop – Drop any files to any devices on your LAN
A similar utility (much more bare-bones though) that a friend wrote is https://github.com/akovacs/uploadserver
It works on Windows, Mac, and Linux, and therefore should probably work on FreeBSD as well if you can install a Rust toolchain:
pkg install curl

OpenDrop: An open Apple AirDrop implementation written in Python
Another option (also not Airdrop compatible) is https://github.com/akovacs/uploadserver which is a Rust (Rocket) web server that you can run on a local machine. Open a browser and navigate to the machine's IP address at port 8000 to upload/download files from the web form.

Microsoft Store in Perpetual Update (I've tried everything Google has had to say but to no avail)
What I'm thinking now is you may just want to solve this with the nuclear option like this guy did - https://old.reddit.com/r/Windows10/comments/f4tw3k/cannot_open_any_microsoft_store_apps_windows/ A pain in the ass, but most 3rd-party applications can export settings, and a program like Patch My PC or winstall can reinstall software quickly. https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/1950-clean-install-windows-10-a.html

Switched Back to Windows After a Year and a Half of Linux
You can replicate that experience with winstall. It gives you the script file when you finish selecting the desired packages, so you can install all the desired apps on any Windows machines on one go without installing additional software.

When reinstalling Windows, there are a few things you can always count on... this is one of them
you have that usb installer for windows you just made. there's still some room on it. make a new folder there and stuff your initial batch of application installers in it, or at least something like ninite or patchmypc or a script made from winstall.app
