Are we only counting FOSS or would Doom count? If Doom counts, my pick is Doom. Having access to Doom's source code is where I learned a huge majority of my programming knowledge making mods for it.

Gnome 44, (probably gonna get roasted by Gentoo users) Nano, Librewolf, Free tube, NixOS, Gnu utils, Krita, kdenlive, Gimp Nuclear, Shredder, Gnome disks, Qemu/KVM

Edit- and test disk, it saved my ass this week. I accidentally wrote a new partion table over my hdd that had all my family photos. Used testdisk let it run on my laptop for 22hours recovered all photos and files. Shout out to the Devs for make great FOSS software

I like a bunch of OSS projects but Firefox is way up there above the rest.

NVDA. Without it I literally couldn't use my computer every day, or do my job.

Freecad is pretty powerful, and fully functional now that they figured out their topological naming problem.

Linux and GNU too :p

in terms of time I spend in it:

• linux
• firefox
• vi

No love for VLC player?!?

firefox and lemmy I guess

Firefox, probably. Though Heroic Games Launcher is getting there real fast. And currently I very often use Baby Journal, though it's an app I wrote, so I'm not sure I can really call it "favorite", but it's definitely one of my most used FOSS apps currently.

Libre Office

Haven't seen Inkscape here yet. I use it for almost every image editing thing I regularly do like cropping, stitching together, adding text and of course creating graphics from scratch.

Honestly probably neko my friends and I used to love rabbit but it went to shit

Vaultwarden

Is Android a valid answer? Maybe not Google's monstrosity but AOSP (although I feel as though it's hard to extricate one from the other save for projects like GrapheneOS).

I'm only going to mention desktop software, there's too many tools and layers involved in spinning up a server.

Daily use (most used first):

• Firefox
• MRemoteNG
• Notepad++
• VS Code
• Git
• WinSCP
• 7-zip (love the tool but hate the format, storage and bandwidth is cheap now, let's just use zip please)
• VLC
• Python

It's a pretty boring list: connectivity tools, text editors, and version control are placed front and centre. That said they are great tools and I would hate to live in a world where I was limited to only proprietary products

Stuff I wish I had more time to use:

• Godot
• Blender
• Audacity
• Krita

Special mention:

• QGIS (and the whole OSGeo ecosystem)
• qBittorrent
• RetroArch (and all the FOSS emulators it promotes)
• OpenTTD
• GIMP/Inkscape (I don't need them often but I'm glad they are their!)

Since major projects like Firefox keep getting mentioned, I’ll throw a shout out to Ant Renamer.

It’s simple, it’s FOSS, and it just works. I often - ahem - acquire a number of files from various sources that are labeled like “Mission.Impossible.7.Complete.zHD.2022.xReloadedx”, and an application like Ant Renamer can batch rename files into whatever you need.

For example, if I need to backup or copy a set of game saves in a folder that all need to have the same prefix like N007 from N002, I would have to manually change 10K files from one prefix to the other. Ant Renamer can do everything in a batch that runs quicker than the blink of an eye.

So, Ant Renamer for the win!

mpv.io !
I discovered it before covid, and it is really lightweight and customizable. So many plug-ins, and they're so simple to create.
I was usually having issues with VLC or settings that he didn't have. No issues with mpv, so far.

If I had to pick only one artifact's worth: bash, probably. Otherwise:

• bash
• vim
• Linux (the kernel itself)
• Kubernetes
• Firefox
• urxvt
• Python
• pacman
• nix
• util-linux
• procps-ng
• iproute2
• iptables(-ng)/ebtables
• GNU parallel
• jq

Lemmy

I use Librewolf for all of my personal browsing

Hyprland So much fun

Linux, Firefox, Bitwarden, Android

Going by what I use the most: Firefox, git, less, tailscale, midnight commander

Linux, MPV, Proton, bash, Newpipe

gnu

Os: Linux mint, Solus, endeavour Programs: librewolf, freetube

I don't have "one" favourite but these are up there

Linux, Firefox, PeerTube

• Git
• (Open)SSH.
• OpenStreetMap and Trekarta (Offline OSM maps for Android)

Godot game engine without a doubt.

Blender, by far :)

Yggdrasil, an IPv6 end to end encrypted networking proof of concept. There's something about it that I find so innovative that I want it to succeed so badly !

I couldn't get by without AutoHotkey and AltSnap. Especially having extra buttons on my mouse, there's so many custom shortcuts, commands, controls, etc. that I couldn't make without them. AltSnap also has a built-in borderless windowed button that works better with games than some apps I have used that are explicitly for that purpose. I have shortcuts for changing volume, switching windows, toggling always-on-top, and even making windows transparent all from the mouse.

Emacs, tor, mpv, KDE, f-droid, python, qemu
