A few of mine that I use daily...
Networky Things:
A couple of personal projects:
If I had to pick only one artifact's worth: bash
, probably.
Otherwise:
bash
vim
urxvt
pacman
nix
iptables
(-ng
)/ebtables
parallel
jq
OsmAnd
The Linux Kernel and operating system in general. It is simultaneously my favorite and I hate that it killed my prior favorite, the SGI Irix operating system. I was there at the beginning, from kernel 1.1 through today. I remember telling regional directors at silicon graphics that Linux was the future and them disparaging that opinion.
Blender
mpv.io !
I discovered it before covid, and it is really lightweight and customizable. So many plug-ins, and they're so simple to create.
I was usually having issues with VLC or settings that he didn't have. No issues with mpv, so far.
Godot game engine without a doubt.
I couldn't get by without AutoHotkey and AltSnap. Especially having extra buttons on my mouse, there's so many custom shortcuts, commands, controls, etc. that I couldn't make without them. AltSnap also has a built-in borderless windowed button that works better with games than some apps I have used that are explicitly for that purpose. I have shortcuts for changing volume, switching windows, toggling always-on-top, and even making windows transparent all from the mouse.
While I think AHK is great and I always use it if I'm daily driving a Windows install.. it's pretty sad that you have to use such a janky language + have this software always open listening to events just to do custom hotkeys on Windows.
On Gnome I can just write a shell script, go into Gnome settings and then add a hokey to it. I don't need to install anything, it works much more fluidly, and takes up less system resources.
Infinitime, for my PineTime.
Pihole, Kubernetes, ffmpeg, VLC, pretty much we are so technologically advanced because there is so much free and open source software. If it wasn't for it we would be ages behind technologically.
KDE Plasma desktop
OBS is my one of my favorite softwares in general, let alone open source
I'unno. Don't really think about it that hard.
I guess firefox, since it gives me ~~porn~~ access to websites.
Gotta go with python here, though vim would be a close second.
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
Iβve been using Logseq after trying Notion and Obsidian a good bit and Iβm really enjoying it. Itβs a block-based note app that makes connecting thoughts together super easy. So far so goo!
Hyprland So much fun
Bitwarden & Jellyfin
Wine, despite the headache that is fiddling with its configurations for specific older games to work.
Firefox, Libreoffice, and Bitwarden (I would include Zotero, but idk if it's open source)
Emacs, tor, mpv, KDE, f-droid, python, qemu
Subsurface
Its dive planning and dive logging software. It's also the only software I'm aware of that can actually pull the data from my dive computer, which uses some crappy proprietary cable and software. The fact that subsurface exists and is automatically in Linux repositories is what finally allowed me wipe out my aging and barely functioning computer, and revive it with Linux.
