Fair, but I don't agree with the choices personally speaking.
Photoshop, sure. I've been in groups where you need it to open PSDs to collaborate.
Plex is up for debate. Jellyfin is not there yet, but it's already a viable alternative.
Steam is proprietary because it's a distribution platform for pay-to-play software, not sure why you'd want an open-source alternative.
Unraid, will never use it. Heck, can't see the need to use any NAS-specific operating systems over plain Linux. Yes, it takes a whole lot more to set it up, but it's just as worth as paying $130, or more if you live in a developing country.
Fences, just no. I've used them a long time before, sure they're really useful, but the best alternative is to just not depend on it. I'm faster at typing the name of the application or the folder I want to access, so I use KRunner. Sometimes the best organisation tool is to NOT use a particular organisation tool. If you really need one when dealing with large amounts of data, you can definitely use methods like Zettelkasten, think of extended attributes or metadata.
