Ncdu is awesome. I even used it last night when I accidentally filled up my ssd causing my os to crash. Finding the offending folder took like 10 seconds. Much better than writing a whole script.
Would probably say Firefox, but since many others have already mentioned it, I'll go with Nushell
Pandoc, KeepassXC, NeoVim
In terms of what I use daily
- GNU Guix package manager
- Kate text editor
- Quassel chat client
- KeePassXC and KeePassDX password managers
- GNU IceCat browser (Firefox ESR derivative)
- VLC media player
I think alot of Indie and open source games owe their existence to SDL.
I also have a love-hate relationship with meson...
Godot!
Foss open source, or open source after Stallmans deffinition?
If the first one I'll go for the GNU/Linux OS
Thunderbird. Hasn't bugged on me once.
Dolphin Emulator always amazes me in how perfect of an emulator it is.
linux, godot, blender, neural amp modeler
Voyager, Firefox, Tachiyomi (J2K specifically), Bitwarden, Jellyfin and Findroid, Sonarr, LunaSea...there's so much I can't pick.
Favorite? Hm... I would have to say Codeigniter (PHP framework) but I love these projects as well: Linux/GNU, VLC, LibreOffice, qBittorrent, VSCodium, Filezilla, GIMP, Firefox, Wireguard, GrapheneOS, Matrix, F-Droid.
If I won the lottery I'd donate to these projects or their respective foundations.
Bitwarden, NetNewsWire, Firefox

Duplicati: A backup software that securely stores and restores data across various platforms and cloud services. Supports encryption and incremental backups (versioning). Lots of possibilities, but use it to back up my PC to my NAS and the other way around.
-
Ferdium: Messaging and other services combined in a single interface. Using it for Telegram, Whatsapp and services like Home Assistant etc. Allows apps to hibernate when not in use.
-
OpenRGB: Control and customize RGB lighting effects on various computer hardware components.

Firefox
Firefox, Bitwarden, and Tachiyomi are some that I use almost everyday
Linux, Firefox, OBS, Emacs, Hatari
Linux
Favourite, not sure. Maybe my "favourite" would be the one which would be the hardest to replace with something I like.
There wouldn't be something i can think off that could be irreplaceable. However the hardest thing I like may be FanControl.
For the browser, Firefox is very nice, but it's "just" a browser if you think about it. There is brave, and other open source chromium alternatives if it disappears.
For mail clients, I also like the Mailspring design, however Thunderbird just got a new skin and damn it looks good too.
And for the rest, I don't really know. Either I don't remember right now, or no special "like" for the software. Or I like the closed source software convenience more (I may also have no idea of an open source alternative, or an equivalent in features open source).
It depends on the usage really.

Iβve been using Logseq after trying Notion and Obsidian a good bit and Iβm really enjoying it. Itβs a block-based note app that makes connecting thoughts together super easy. So far so goo!
rust
Suckless software like dwm, st, dmenu
