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

Android and Linux

Ardour

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

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

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.

Thunderbird. Hasn't bugged on me once.

Suckless software like dwm, st, dmenu

linux, godot, blender, neural amp modeler

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

Pandoc, KeepassXC, NeoVim

• godot engine

• dungeon crawl stone soup

• ncdu

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.

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

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

Linux

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.

Playnite, all your games in one launcher.

Godot!

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

• 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

Bitwarden, NetNewsWire, Firefox

Ditto ffmpeg gstreamer obs Firefox & addons Thunderbird greenshot everythingtoolbar 7zip Lemmy jerboa and so many more OpenWRT simply a must, eartrumpet gajim conversations

Linux

For games:

• Anuto TD (found a few days ago, isn't super feature rich but still fun to kill time)

• Mindustry (never played a game like it before, ended up supporting by buying it on Steam)

• Supertuxkart (I love how many custom add-on karts and tracks I have)

For non-games:

• Termux (allows me to get apk files and install Revancify for add free yt)

• VLC (I don't mind slow updates and have yet to switch mostly because I can't find anything better that isn't more complicated than it needs to be and/or is closed source)

• KDE Connect (I have almost always had problems with moving files from and to my desktop via cord)

I'd include something like Linux, but I personally feel that's kinda cheating because of how large it is compared to the others.

QGIS and OpenStreetMap for mapping

Linux, Firefox, OBS, Emacs, Hatari
