Not to disparage your effort, but I looked into music and I only see:

Audio & Music

Audacity Audire Audile

Aaaand I'm out.

This is so lopsided it should be titled "A random collection of free software that has caught my eye"

Love that you have Joplin on the list! I started using that recently to handle all of my notes and it’s been great.

For instant messengers, I would also add Wire and Matrix/Element (Matrix is the protocol, Element is the messenger that uses the protocol).

https://wire.com/en

https://matrix.org/ - https://element.io/

Both good open source secure messengers. Matrix is made by a type of non-profit foundation made to guide the development of the core protocol, and Wire is a Swiss company staking their future on how secure their messenger is for Enterprise applications. They both have different philosophies on how their operations are ran, but they're both open source and secure.

They're not as privacy respecting as Briar or SimpleX, but they're also more aimed at organizations and groups that plan on self-hosting and potentially not federating with the rest of the network to help silo their organizational data. Wire obviously aims towards Enterprise customers, but Matrix does as well, despite a different approach. Matrix has had growth with both German and French governments for various secure communications systems within their government bodies based on the matrix protocol. So good messengers, just aimed at a different group of people as Briar/SimpleX.

So maybe they could have their own "Enterprise Chat" section? I dunno, just my thoughts.

Thanks! I’ll give it a gander. I was off hiking today, and used some crappy app to track my progress. I know there’s an open source ware that can do it, without invading my privacy; it’s time to start using that ‘ware.

man i wish there was a more powerful alternative to gimp hope gimp 3.0 solves it and currently am using the affinity photo 6 month free trial

My latest favourite is missing: Note Taking Apps:

• xournal++

Joplin is good for organising text-based notes, so I'm not surprised to see that on your list. But xournal is a for mixed drawing / hand-writing / text, etc. So it's a different use-case to Joplin. (It would be perfect if Joplin supported xournal notes; so that you could write with xournal and then organise with Joplin. ... But that hasn't yet come to pass.)

There's obviously a zillion open source games you could add, but I'm partial to pixel dungeon and its many variants

Bookmarking this. How about a photo library category under photos and grafics

Now plz do hardware

Why KeePassXC over Bitwarden or VaultWarden?

Thanks for the list! Sharing this with lazy friends.

On windows for a screenshot tool a good one is ShareX. and for a clipboard manager Ditto
