Steam. The support they have for multiplatform almost feels open source and they have been invaluable for the adoption of desktop Linux

Tbh just normal YouTube + Premium is great and feels reasonable value to me.

TickTick is a better reminders app than anything FOSS ive tried

PlexSheep,

Obsidian for note taking, Bitwig studio for audio recording and processing.

ari_verse,

Did you check logseq? It’s on flathub

Rogers,

logseq definitely coming along. I tried their donation only sync and it seems to mostly work.

That said nothing has beaten Standardnotes for me. Standardnotes can be found on flathub, fdroid etc. The only drawback is to get the important features you need to either selfhost or buy the plan. The free service is very barebones

bentropy,

Lightroom. There are lots of alternatives for editing some even FOSS but I haven’t found any usable alternative to the library of Lightroom…

Discord over Matrix. The range of features plus the style of the client. I like soundboard and emotes. its easy to setup a server and invite people.

zer0,

You cannot setup servers on Discord.

NoGodsNoMasters,

While that is true, that’s also not what people mean when they say ‘servers’ in this context. No of course they’re not actual servers, but that’s what they’re called and I don’t think anyone is under the impression they’re actually servers

They are actually called guilds. Whoever started calling them servers needs to be cursed to hell.

Server sounds better. Guilds sound dumb.

But Discord guilds are not servers.

redballooon,

MacOS instead of some Linux distro. Mostly because of the hardware that comes with it, making a neat integrated product.

Tiefton,

I agree, love the intervonnectivity with iOS, especially AirDrop. And it’s still more comfortable to use than Windows IMO (no forced updates that slow down the shutting down process!).

argv_minus_one,

I agree, love the intervonnectivity with iOS, especially AirDrop.

To me, that sort of “feature” is nothing more than a security vulnerability waiting to be exploited.

Maybe I just think that because of past trauma from Microsoft products and IoT devices being blatantly insecure, but…

hitagi,

DaVinci Resolve is much better than any open source NLE. Generally, most closed source media production software is better than their open source counterparts except Blender. Blender is incredible and it gives me hope that other open source software can be just as successful in the media industry.

DaVinci is better, but it also provides licence for life. So it’s proprietary but have a good relationship with the customers.

‘Generally’ is a really wide word. Better for what? For who? When? That’s the all question…

myersguy,

The Jetbrains suite of IDE’s. Particularly Jetbrains Rider. The platform ~~they are all ~~ many of them are built on is open source though, and you can get free licenses for all of their products if you are using them to develop open source software!

MrMamiya,

Photoshop is easier to use than gimp. I don’t pay for photoshop, but if I needed something like that I would.

Consider Photoshop Elements for a similar UI and one time payment to use forever.

Krita is closer to Photoshop than Gimp, although still not up to it. Just in case you ever need PS, try krita first.
