FOSS or otherwise

Git
Bitwarden. Otherwise I won’t be able to log on to any of my accounts.
I also like Keepass
I concur. I would never go back.
OpenSSH
Or OpenBSD in general. I’ve used it on my desktop for about 25 years.
Web browser
Which one do you use?
Firefox
Great! Fuck the chromium monopoly
Ditto clipboard manager Xmbc Explorer patcher Moonlight sunshine Everything search Wiztree Altsnap Powertoys KiTTY
That’s a long name
On Windows: EarTrumpet
Being able to quickly change audio outputs is awesome, I am always bouncing between headset and speakers. Also the pop up volume mixer is better than the built in one. Been using ET for years and years, can pry it from my cold dead hands.
Having a bind that just instantly toggles between speakers/headphones is one of the major reasons I’m now stuck with Linux whether I like it or not
Was one of the big things that got me hooked in general because audio config is such a pain on windows
What does it do that the standard windows soundmixer doesn’t do? You can change inputs in 2 clicks or ctrl+windows×v
Ctrl+Win+V doesn’t do anything for me. The best part about Eartrumpet for me is that you can manage all audio outputs on your system individually. Since I use a virtual mixer, this makes it easy to adjust everything without being to open the mixer, as well as making sure each program is outputting audio to the right place.
I programmed my headset macro keys to do this with nircmd.
+1 for EarTrumpet
It’s probably the most useful program I have on my Win10 machine.

What if I swap it out with helix like that statue in Indiana jones
deleted by creator
I used to use neovim for a while, the main reason I migrated to helix was because it just has everything built in, no need to spend hours getting lsps working and everything
The motions are vastly better than vim though imo, the select as you go thing makes it feel a lot more natural
(For example, w moves you to the end of the word and selects it, then pressing it again deselects and selects the next word unless you’re in v mode)
Meaning to delete a word it’s w+d not d+w
Also very good multi cursor support, instead of typing out a long sed command I can select a block or all, and do S,(regex) and it spawns a cursor on every match which can do everything the normal one can
As for it being everywhere have you ever used sshfs? It’s always my go-to when editing projects on a remote server and then you can use whatever you want
Sure and place neovim there
I will!! Right after I look up the key command that does that.

Outlook. /s
Well, Outlook Express was pretty good at the time.
Sadly, OneNote. (I have a stylus)
Android. As bad as it is, if I had to use iOS or Linux phones it would be even worse, at least with the current state of Linux phones.
But actually, maybe if Android didn’t exist, the FOSS community would focus more on Linux phones and they would be an actually good option. Maybe Android shouldn’t exist?
For me it’s iOS, funnily enough. I use Windows for all of our video game machines and Linux for everything else, but I don’t use any Google products or services. After messing around on my computers all the time, I don’t want to even have to THINK about doing things to my phone to make it go. My current phone is six years old and the only reason I’m upgrading this year is to get a 120hz screen, USB-C, and for better low light pictures of cats. And a terabyte would be nice.
Google is a bad company, and Apple isn’t any better. Probably the best option for you would be GrapheneOS on one of the latest pixels, they have intuitive software, 120hz screens, have had USB-C for years, a good camera, lots of storage, and most importantly GrapheneOS doesn’t use Google or Apple, it’s FOSS.
GrapheneOS is awesome, but like I said, no google products and I don’t want to fuck with my phone at all. Apple isn’t perfect, but it’s leagues better than stock Google with app permissions and overall privacy. My six year old phone is still fully supported for at least another year, and I enjoy the OS for the very few things I do on my phone. This is definitely the best option for me.
My biggest concern with graphene is that I don’t really trust that my apps will work on it.
I haven’t looked into it for years, but I do need to use apps like Microsoftone drive, WeChat, banks, etc.
Even if they work I’m concerned that they will see I’m on some modified OS and block my account.
Maybe just a feature phone and tether it to a laptop?
Python, Jupyter, Freetube
We used Jupyter Notebook in school, we’d have assignments where each again was broken out by block and then we’d have to solve it. I don’t see much of a use outside of an education setting
What is your use from it?
Jupyter is great for data analysis.
The jupyter console is just a better version of the interactive shell. Great for just trying out some lines of code.
I also use notebooks at work to try out some APIs, to skip the tedium of the initial setup or some other routines.
I’m a data scientist, so I use it daily for machine learning tasks. Value imputation, model training, ad hoc analytics, and s lot more
Near, we used it in my machine learning class so I guess that adds up!
Notepad++
I thought so too, yet here I am on arch linux now.
I guess I could run it under wine or something if I really needed it.
I feel like the text editors we get by default do all the things I ever wanted notepad++ for anyway.
There’s still something nice about np++ though, sure it might be unnecessary on Linux but it just feels familiar and reliable
Absolutely. Nothing wrong with np++ for sure. But it does feel like something someone had to make just to make up for the shortcomings of built-in options in Windows.
There is notepadqq, if I remember correctly.
Nice find!
Maintained by a Hungarian too, coolio.
My first instinct was to say GIMP or Firefox, but I could still use Krita or Chromium in those cases.
I’d say Anki then. I don’t know of any other FOSS flashcard app this good, and I have so much saved on it that losing it would be devastating.
How does one use flashcards?
