This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

As someone who loves linux and FOSS some of these are far from being replacements and some of these are even upgrades. It does depend on one's usage though. Like I couldn't tell a Photoshop power user that gimp is a full replacement. I could say though that blender is an upgrade from cinema 4D.
