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

Thunderbird. Hasn't bugged on me once.

I think alot of Indie and open source games owe their existence to SDL.

I also have a love-hate relationship with meson...

linux, godot, blender, neural amp modeler

• godot engine

• dungeon crawl stone soup

• ncdu

Pandoc, KeepassXC, NeoVim

I’ve been using Logseq after trying Notion and Obsidian a good bit and I’m really enjoying it. It’s a block-based note app that makes connecting thoughts together super easy. So far so goo!

Suckless software like dwm, st, dmenu

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

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.

Bitwarden, NetNewsWire, Firefox

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

rust

Linux

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

• 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

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

Godot!

Playnite, all your games in one launcher.

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.

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