Bitwarden & Jellyfin

GNU Hurd. Never used it, but I like the idea and would love to see it become a viable option.

Thunderbird. Hasn't bugged on me once.

Favorite? Hm... I would have to say Codeigniter (PHP framework) but I love these projects as well: Linux/GNU, VLC, LibreOffice, qBittorrent, VSCodium, Filezilla, GIMP, Firefox, Wireguard, GrapheneOS, Matrix, F-Droid.

If I won the lottery I'd donate to these projects or their respective foundations.

Pandoc, KeepassXC, NeoVim

Suckless software like dwm, st, dmenu

Since most of what I would have said has already be mentioned I will just go with almost anything under the umbrella of the KDE organization.

As in the Plasma desktop environment and the whole application suite. Includes programs like Krita, Kdenlive and KDE Connect, plus the whole range of "standard" desktop applications like terminal, file manager, document viewers, etc. pp.

And the DE itself is just adorably hackable. Want to replace the Kwin window manager with i3? Sure it's possible, here you go: https://userbase.kde.org/Tutorials/Using_Other_Window_Managers_with_Plasma

Favourite, not sure. Maybe my "favourite" would be the one which would be the hardest to replace with something I like.

There wouldn't be something i can think off that could be irreplaceable. However the hardest thing I like may be FanControl.

For the browser, Firefox is very nice, but it's "just" a browser if you think about it. There is brave, and other open source chromium alternatives if it disappears.

For mail clients, I also like the Mailspring design, however Thunderbird just got a new skin and damn it looks good too.

And for the rest, I don't really know. Either I don't remember right now, or no special "like" for the software. Or I like the closed source software convenience more (I may also have no idea of an open source alternative, or an equivalent in features open source).

It depends on the usage really.

Linux

In terms of what I use daily

• GNU Guix package manager
• Kate text editor
• Quassel chat client
• KeePassXC and KeePassDX password managers
• GNU IceCat browser (Firefox ESR derivative)
• VLC media player

Bitwarden, NetNewsWire, Firefox

rust

Arch Linux, LibreWolf & KeepassXC are the first that come to mind.

Firefox, Bitwarden, and Tachiyomi are some that I use almost everyday

Linux

• Duplicati: A backup software that securely stores and restores data across various platforms and cloud services. Supports encryption and incremental backups (versioning). Lots of possibilities, but use it to back up my PC to my NAS and the other way around.

• Ferdium: Messaging and other services combined in a single interface. Using it for Telegram, Whatsapp and services like Home Assistant etc. Allows apps to hibernate when not in use.

• OpenRGB: Control and customize RGB lighting effects on various computer hardware components.

• Firefox

Godot!

QGIS and OpenStreetMap for mapping

Neovim. It's an awesome editor and it has a great community and ecosystem.

Linux Mint and Bit Warden are the obvious picks, But I’ve really been enjoying NetNewsWire on iOS since the decline of Reddit. RSS is a great protocol, and NNW is a very seamless experience. When I find a link to an RSS feed I want to follow, just tap and hold, share, and it auto fills an entry with everything but a title and automatically adds it to your feed. Great stuff.

Definitely OpenFOAM. It competes with commercial software that costs thousands of dollars.

Firefox, Neovim, Pass (password store) and Wezterm. I heavily use all four of them.

I also need to give a special mention to Aegis Authenticator on Android.
