Whats your favorite free open source software that everyone should try?

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

uhhhh.... I think? Android is built from linux, with a modified linux kernel, so linux can still be open source even when Android mostly isn't.

Android is also open source. Here's the source: https://github.com/aosp-mirror

Ghoelian has already responded to you with what I essentially meant:

It would be like saying that if 99% of Linux users used RedHat.

AOSP is open source sure, but realistically basically everyone is using a closed source version that the OEM has messed with.

Same with Linux. I don't know of anyone who runs Linux from Scratch. Every Linux distro adds non-open code, be it audio drivers or codecs and the like.
