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

Iโ€™ve been liking Digikam and Rawtherapee (which is an awful name for the record) for photo gubbins.

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.

Linux, of course. But another one that I use all the time, and love to death, is SageMath. It's the perfect blend of mathematics and programming for me.

Hard to answer but maybe Haiku or GNU Emacs

Neovim. It's an awesome editor and it has a great community and ecosystem.

Currently OBS and Motrix

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

Linux, Tor, and the Ballistica game engine/BombSquad game (not fully open source as stuff used for sensitive data remains closed source ๐Ÿ˜”)

Edit: forgot git lol

I have used a lot of stuff over the years but my favorite would have to be a little command line program called cowsay. It takes whatever text you feed it and puts it in a speech bubble above a cow, hence the name.

ReVanced. I love my ad-free, sponsor-blocking, Shorts-removing YouTube experience.

As a bonus, I also enjoy using Mp3tag. It's a program I can use to easily change and update the tags on all my music files, and it can even do it all in batches. It can also connect to various music services (Discogs, Musicbrainz, etc.) to get music tag info directly so you don't have to type it all in manually.

Media Player Classic (I'm unsure if the latest iterations are or even if the Home Cinema edition is open source), TOR, qbittorrent, firefox, thinderbird, obs to name a few that I use regularly.

Linux, Firefox, Apache

Uptime Kuma is a fantastic selfhosted status page system. You can use it to track and notify you of network outages or it can scrape a url for a key word and alert you when it's found. I've heard people using the keyword feature to find out when RPI go back in stock for example.

I use it at work to keep track of our systems and their uptime as well as cloud systems we use.

QGIS and OpenStreetMap for mapping

Right now, it's Warpinator. Makes at-home wireless file transfers so damn SIMPLE.
