Hello everyone, I want to use more free and open-source tools that also protect privacy. Can you please share the FOSS apps or tools you use every day and find most helpful?

Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, Linux.

I also daily use Firefox, Thunderbird, VSCodium, Signal, KeepassXC, DAVx5 and Radicale for calendar syncronization.

What I don't use each and every day but what are among my favorite FOSS projects are KiCad for electronics design and CoMaps for navigation.

or as I've recently taken to calling it, Linux + Rust.
