QGIS and OpenStreetMap for mapping

Suricata

OpenSCAD and Gitlab. I can quickly iterate on designs through code, push it to my Gitlab instance, and have my CI/CD pipelines pick it up, render it, and automatically slice it in some common profiles to send to Octoprint

For games:

• Anuto TD (found a few days ago, isn't super feature rich but still fun to kill time)

• Mindustry (never played a game like it before, ended up supporting by buying it on Steam)

• Supertuxkart (I love how many custom add-on karts and tracks I have)

For non-games:

• Termux (allows me to get apk files and install Revancify for add free yt)

• VLC (I don't mind slow updates and have yet to switch mostly because I can't find anything better that isn't more complicated than it needs to be and/or is closed source)

• KDE Connect (I have almost always had problems with moving files from and to my desktop via cord)

I'd include something like Linux, but I personally feel that's kinda cheating because of how large it is compared to the others.

Currently OBS and Motrix

Definitely OpenFOAM. It competes with commercial software that costs thousands of dollars.

Linux, Tor, and the Ballistica game engine/BombSquad game (not fully open source as stuff used for sensitive data remains closed source 😔)

Edit: forgot git lol

I have used a lot of stuff over the years but my favorite would have to be a little command line program called cowsay. It takes whatever text you feed it and puts it in a speech bubble above a cow, hence the name.

Media Player Classic (I'm unsure if the latest iterations are or even if the Home Cinema edition is open source), TOR, qbittorrent, firefox, thinderbird, obs to name a few that I use regularly.

Linux, Firefox, Apache

VS Code

NetHack!

ReVanced. I love my ad-free, sponsor-blocking, Shorts-removing YouTube experience.

As a bonus, I also enjoy using Mp3tag. It's a program I can use to easily change and update the tags on all my music files, and it can even do it all in batches. It can also connect to various music services (Discogs, Musicbrainz, etc.) to get music tag info directly so you don't have to type it all in manually.
