Kdenlive, just wow. I knew absolutely nothing about video editing, and it was so user-friendly, that it only took me a day to create something with it. Such great software.
Wait, osu! is open-source??

Firefox is the first to come to mind. Also all the KDE software (when run in KDE).
I wish Firefox used QT or there was a KDE browser that was better maintained
KDE’s stuff is amazing.
For me it is KDE Plasma desktop. By far the most powerful, customizable, flexible and innovative of the computer desktops today. And despite all these features and power it is still one of the more lightweight ones.
Also there are other great KDE apps and GNU/Linux operating system in general. Just love how they respect my digital rights and freedoms and my privacy and I do not need to use proprietary alternatives which are just getting more bloated and include more and more spyware. Not to mention their constant dumbing down of the interface and closing it up.
Omnivore! It’s just a “read it later” app, but so nice to use. I enjoy newsletters again, because they all go there instead of in my emails, and they all have a uniform look to them now. Sorting by labels and syncing highlights to my Obsidian inbox page are great features. And they said bulk editing is coming soon.
Also bitwarden, lichess, and qbitorrent.

Darktable
Bitwarden / VaultwardenDarktable is awesome. People rave on about Lightroom like it’s irreplaceable, but Darktable exists and is a legit alternative.
wtf BLENDER is open source???
Yep, there are quite a few forks of it too, eg. one for artists with a friendlier UI, a CAD-focused one, a game engine one etc.

the thing is, blender wasn’t always open source. And they wouldn’t have been this successful if they were still closed.
Wow, TIL; I had always thought of it as an open source project, but I guess it wasn’t always!
In May 2002, Roosendaal started the non-profit Blender Foundation, with the first goal to find a way to continue developing and promoting Blender as a community-based open-source project. On July 18, 2002, Roosendaal started the “Free Blender” campaign, a crowdfunding precursor.[19][20] The campaign aimed at open-sourcing Blender for a one-time payment of €100,000 (US$100,670 at the time), with the money being collected from the community.[21] On September 7, 2002, it was announced that they had collected enough funds and would release the Blender source code. Today, Blender is free and open-source software, largely developed by its community as well as 26 full-time employees and 12 freelancers employed by the Blender Institute.[22]

OBS is the one that gets me. A lot of streamers I follow talk about how they use OBS because it’s such a reliable standard and works the way they expect. Pretty cool that an open source app is the standard for something as mainstream as livestreaming.

I actually use EOS on my main machine. Still had a better experience on Manjaro.

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.
After 13 years using Linux I still can’t believe it’s free!
Jellyfin, such a great little media server.
Yeah, the reddit community is great to… Need a way to bring them here. 😭
@CCatMan @div, easy, show them tis analyse of Reddit, made with bLacklight. (the TowerData which appears is known to use even keylogger to profile the user).
https://themarkup.org/blacklightThat’s an amazing tool you’ve found! No clue that existed until now.
@Choco1ateCh1p, this and some others must be in any bookmark

It’s probably safe to use but ghidra feels so sus considering who made it
Definitely Blender. I’d consider myself a medium grade expert at using it for CAD, solid modelling, 3D printing, yet there are vast sections of it I have never touched, and appear to be so rich that you could build a career around them without overlapping with my skill set.
Blender used to be so difficult to use. It has come a long way and I genuinely like using now, not just forced to because of budget limits.
Blender and KDE
@dl007 kde and vlc
Yeah kde is doing great
KDE is the reason I stayed on Linux way back then
OpenSSH!
