On my laptop:

  • Void Linux
  • GNOME (desktop environment)
  • gThumb (image viewer that can do simple edits)
  • Firefox (the famous web browser)
    • uBlock Origin (content blocker that blocks ads, trackers, etc. out of the box)
    • SponsorBlock (automatically skips sponsor segments in YouTube videos)
  • Betterbird (fork of the Thunderbird email client, with various QoL tweaks)
  • GIMP (image editor)
  • Kdenlive (video editor)
  • virt-manager (manage QEMU virtual machines)
  • Celluloid (media player)
  • yt-dlp (command-line utility for downloading YouTube videos, and the basis of some graphical apps as well)
  • Bottles (if you want to use Wine to run Windows apps, without too many headaches)
  • Foliate (.epub ebook reader)
  • OBS (for screen recording and livestreaming)
  • Code - OSS (code editor, “clean” version of Visual Studio Code without “Microsoft-specific customizations”)
  • Tenacity (fork of the Audacity audio editor without opt-out telemetry)

On my Android phone:

Cross-platform:

If we can count FOSS modifications of proprietary apps:

  • YouTube Revanced (the official YouTube app, but you don’t get ads, you can play videos in the background, you get SponsorBlock, etc.) (follow this guide for auto-updates)
  • Vesktop (desktop client for Discord, has Vencord preinstalled and supports Linux screen sharing)
  • Prism Launcher (Minecraft: Java Edition launcher that allows you to easily manage different “instances” of the game. Good for playing with different mods and/or versions)
  • Fabulously Optimized (modpack for Minecraft: Java Edition, that improves performance and adds some minor QoL features)

addendum: I’d like to use Matrix (via the Element client) and Signal more, but most of the people I know are on Discord and WhatsApp instead.
