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

Would probably say Firefox, but since many others have already mentioned it, I'll go with Nushell

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

[โ€“] TheCee@programming.dev 6 points 1 year ago

Thunderbird. Hasn't bugged on me once.

[โ€“] jackpot@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 year ago

linux, godot, blender, neural amp modeler

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.

[โ€“] lawliot@lemmy.fmhy.ml 6 points 1 year ago

Voyager, Firefox, Tachiyomi (J2K specifically), Bitwarden, Jellyfin and Findroid, Sonarr, LunaSea...there's so much I can't pick.

Dolphin Emulator always amazes me in how perfect of an emulator it is.

[โ€“] Wizard@lemmy.sdf.org 5 points 1 year ago

Bitwarden, NetNewsWire, Firefox

  • 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

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

OpenSCAD and Gitlab. I can quickly iterate on designs through code, push it to my Gitlab instance, and have my CI/CD pipelines pick it up, render it, and automatically slice it in some common profiles to send to Octoprint

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.

Unfortunately, FanControl is not open source. It uses librehardwaremonitor which is, but the FanControl project does not have source code posted and is not under a FOSS license.

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

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