I can't say I really use any of the older style BBS ones like phpBB but there are plenty of smaller software communities using Discourse based forums. For less active communities they are far superior to Discord due to the more asynchronous nature and gives you a lot more control than Reddit/Lemmy.
It got purchased by a for-profit company and people got very nervous about how they might handle the project. https://forgejo.org/compare/
Somewhat self promoting for the first two of these items as I'm directly involved. Leaving out the more obvious ones (Linux distro etc.) as they will have been mentioned. I'll stick to some of the less known things I use.
- Pulsar - a community-led fork of the discontinued Atom text editor. Lemmy community
- Joplin - note taking app. Lemmy community
- Halloy - IRC client built in Rust and Iced
- Navi - Command line cheatsheet tool
- GitUI - Terminal UI git tool
- Skim - Fuzzy finder
- Dust - Disk usage tool (like
du)
Really like tuta, have to admit that i've not looked closely at the paid options but they provide their services for free to our open source project and it functionality even on that tier is pretty great.
Yeah sorry must have missed the android bit
For a file manager (GUI) I rather like PCManFM, particularly on tiling WMs. I've been wanting to try out Xplorer but not got around to it, last time I tried the appimage was a bit broken.
Video editors I've only used, but rather like, Kdenlive.
I don't think i've seen one. Even loaves from bakers 20 years ago were sealed using that little machine with strips of red sticky tape.
I got to that once, on mobile I've never worked out the rule for when FF opens a new tab vs opening a site in your current tab. They just kind of silently accumulate.
Codeberg would be my vote. Or Soucehut
Kitty the vast majority of the time but slowly using Ghostty more and more as it improves. Sometimes use Tabby and have been looking into Wave recently. I also use the x-terminal-reloaded package in the Pulsar editor for a dock terminal if im doing something in it at the same time.
