Lemmy seems like the right place to ask this. Personally I've really enjoyed Gurgle, which is a FOSS Wordle clone app.

ssh plus sshd is available already or can easily be installed on any Linux system. It can do many things: Remote terminal sessions and remote login (for admin for example), file transfer, directories can be mounted as shares too over ssh, remote execution, you can also even do tunneling, graphical application UI forwarding, and even implement VPNs via ssh. Every Linux admin knows about and uses ssh all the time.

It is interesting a lot of people forget you can use any Linux box as a file server via SSH, in addition do a lot of other things. I also have an ssh app on my cell phone, and can just mount the file system their on Linux too. There are clients for SSH for Windows also.
