    On my laptop:

    • Void Linux
    • GNOME (desktop environment)
    • gThumb (image viewer that can do simple edits)
    • Firefox (the famous web browser)
      • uBlock Origin (content blocker that blocks ads, trackers, etc. out of the box)
      • SponsorBlock (automatically skips sponsor segments in YouTube videos)
    • Betterbird (fork of the Thunderbird email client, with various QoL tweaks)
    • GIMP (image editor)
    • Kdenlive (video editor)
    • virt-manager (manage QEMU virtual machines)
    • Celluloid (media player)
    • yt-dlp (command-line utility for downloading YouTube videos, and the basis of some graphical apps as well)
    • Bottles (if you want to use Wine to run Windows apps, without too many headaches)
    • Foliate (.epub ebook reader)
    • OBS (for screen recording and livestreaming)
    • Code - OSS (code editor, "clean" version of Visual Studio Code without "Microsoft-specific customizations")
    • Tenacity (fork of the Audacity audio editor without opt-out telemetry)

    On my Android phone:

    Cross-platform:

    If we can count FOSS modifications of proprietary apps:

    • YouTube Revanced (the official YouTube app, but you don't get ads, you can play videos in the background, you get SponsorBlock, etc.) (follow this guide for auto-updates)
    • Vesktop (desktop client for Discord, has Vencord preinstalled and supports Linux screen sharing)
    • Prism Launcher (Minecraft: Java Edition launcher that allows you to easily manage different "instances" of the game. Good for playing with different mods and/or versions)
    • Fabulously Optimized (modpack for Minecraft: Java Edition, that improves performance and adds some minor QoL features)

    addendum: I'd like to use Matrix (via the Element client) and Signal more, but most of the people I know are on Discord and WhatsApp instead.

    I use GVIM everyday.

    I frequently use CentOS because that is what the embedded system I work on runs.

    I use cygwin regularly professionally and at home. Identifying specific software within it is tough, but I definitely use grep and g++ all of the time.

    On android, I guess, it's smth like: heliboard, mull, eternity, tubular (a newpipe fork), antennapod, feeder, simplex, element and slightly patched mercurygram.

    As for the desktop, Firefox, keepassxc, anyrun (the app launcher) and cosmic-term would probably be the GUI apps I use most often; occasionally neovide if I feel like drooling on those sick cursor animations, mpv if I want to watch stuff without distractions, or kicad if I'm into making some electronics-related pet project. Other than that, my workflow is mostly terminal-centric, so the fish shell, coreutils, neovim, moreutils -- mostly vidir for visual bulk renaming and vipe for editing piped stuff in place (for one-time things that require, say, >2 seds) --, and so on.

      yep. Browsing F-droid is a good way to find random apps, too. Like Audio Spectrum Analyzer is fun to play with.

    On android, GrapheneOS, AntennaPod and Tempo are probably my top ones. On my desktop, Firefox, tmux, mpd, ncmpcpp, gonic, neomutt, qbittorrent, weechat, mc, btop, Lagrange and emacs probably round things out for me outside of base OS stuff. OS side, my desktop has Arch Linux and my laptop runs OpenBSD. Bitwarden across platforms.
