I made it to Linux! What is your must-have FOSS or Free Software for linux?

Thank you so much, comrades! I am feeling pretty comfortable with linux mint, and now would like some suggestions for some absolutely necessary FOSS or free license software for the OS. So far I have the standard, Firefox, ThunderBird, LibreOffice, yada yada. Thank you again to everyone on the linux comm! sankara-salute

Here's some creative software that replace the functionalities of Adobe software & more.

  • photo editing: GIMP
  • vector images: Inkscape
  • drawing/painting: Krita (GIMP also fine for this)
  • video editing: kdenlive
  • 3d modelling, animating, etc.: Blender
  • audio editing: Tenacity (Audacity fork made after the buyout without telemetry)
  • DAW: LMMS
  • media player: VLC or mpv

if there's any other specific software you're looking for a FOSS alternative to, don't hesitate to ask. You always have more options on Linux than you'd think.
