Hello everyone! This is my list of FOSS software I use ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

Android FOSS alternatives to proprietary apps

Google Board -> FlorisBoard
Google Play -> Aurora Store^[1]^
Termius -> ConnectBot^[2]^
Discord -> Element
Xiaomi Fit -> Gadget Bridge^[3]^
Google Gmail -> K-9 Mail
YouTube -> LibreTube
Google Authenticator -> Mauth
Google News -> Nextcloud News^[4]^
Google Drive -> Nextcloud^[4]^
Google Keep -> Nextcloud Notes^[4]^
Spotify -> SubTune^[4]^
YouTube Music -> ViMusic
Google Chrome -> Mull

^1^- You need a Google account.
^2^ - The UX is not as good as Termius.
^3^ - The UI looks like garbage, but does it's job.
^4^ - You need to selfhost a server.

Android FOSS alternatives to FOSS apps

Jellyfin -> Findroid
F-Droid -> Droid-ify

Desktop FOSS

Windows -> Fedora 38 Workstation
Firefox -> LibreWolf (telemetry free, hardened firefox)

Other software

Linux server -> Debian (without GUI)
Smart home -> Home Assistant
SMS -> Signal
DNS -> Adguard Home (selfhosted)

Other services

Try open street maps. It's better than Google maps in some locations and worse in others. So ymmv based on where you live.

Open Street maps has a bunch of Android frontend apps, I use organic maps which is available on fdroid. You can use street-complete (also fdroid) to contribute to open street maps if you wish to do so.

Actually I contribute to OSM with Street Complete already ๐Ÿ˜…

I've already tried Organic Maps and OsmAnd, but they fall behind Google Maps :/ OsmAnd has super old UI and Organic Maps is buggy as hell.

Try magic earth. It is good and privacy friendly.
