Jellyfin
Blender
Darktable
Bitwarden / Vaultwarden

Darktable is awesome. People rave on about Lightroom like it's irreplaceable, but Darktable exists and is a legit alternative.

Linux! The responsible for my knowledge in computing and a great deal of English..Linux is the power!

I switched to Linux Mint full-time a few months ago and it's blown me away with how good it is.

As a creative: Blender. It was always a good program but thank god they finally started hiring people, that actually know how to design a usable UI. I remember the times when the devs refused to change the simple default selection to the worldwide standard: left mouse button.

I don't actually remember what for, 2.79 was years ago, but I think it placed the object origin at the center of the geometry

Firefox is the first to come to mind. Also all the KDE software (when run in KDE).

VSCode. I know its owned by Microsoft but its such a good editor. Having a strong tool is so important since nobody wants to be concerned about the app, they just want to code and do their work!
