In terms of overall usage, gotta go GIMP.

Most used for me is Firefox (in fact I'm so used to it, it didn't even come to mind until I saw so many replies mentioning it!).

The favorite is probably git.

For the recently discovered stuff that would probably be the Astro frontend framework (and Svelte).

Also what a wonderful thread to discover stuff. Thank you all!

qBittorrent came to my rescue after uTorrent went commercial.

in terms of time I spend in it:

• linux
• firefox
• vi

Are we only counting FOSS or would Doom count? If Doom counts, my pick is Doom. Having access to Doom's source code is where I learned a huge majority of my programming knowledge making mods for it.

Since major projects like Firefox keep getting mentioned, I’ll throw a shout out to Ant Renamer.

It’s simple, it’s FOSS, and it just works. I often - ahem - acquire a number of files from various sources that are labeled like “Mission.Impossible.7.Complete.zHD.2022.xReloadedx”, and an application like Ant Renamer can batch rename files into whatever you need.

For example, if I need to backup or copy a set of game saves in a folder that all need to have the same prefix like N007 from N002, I would have to manually change 10K files from one prefix to the other. Ant Renamer can do everything in a batch that runs quicker than the blink of an eye.

So, Ant Renamer for the win!

FFmpeg

Tachiyomi.

Gnome 44, (probably gonna get roasted by Gentoo users) Nano, Librewolf, Free tube, NixOS, Gnu utils, Krita, kdenlive, Gimp Nuclear, Shredder, Gnome disks, Qemu/KVM

Edit- and test disk, it saved my ass this week. I accidentally wrote a new partion table over my hdd that had all my family photos. Used testdisk let it run on my laptop for 22hours recovered all photos and files. Shout out to the Devs for make great FOSS software

• Git
• (Open)SSH.
• OpenStreetMap and Trekarta (Offline OSM maps for Android)

I like a bunch of OSS projects but Firefox is way up there above the rest.

Libre Office

• Linux (generally speaking)
• KDE as a whole
• Tusky
• Brave as a browser
• Bitwarden/vaultwarden

Linux and GNU too :p

Os: Linux mint, Solus, endeavour Programs: librewolf, freetube

I don't have "one" favourite but these are up there

Vaultwarden

Firefox, probably. Though Heroic Games Launcher is getting there real fast. And currently I very often use Baby Journal, though it's an app I wrote, so I'm not sure I can really call it "favorite", but it's definitely one of my most used FOSS apps currently.

No love for VLC player?!?

Firefox and Nethack

Lemmy

Linux, Firefox based browsers, vs code, KDE, and the fediverse.

gnu

Going by what I use the most: Firefox, git, less, tailscale, midnight commander

Honestly probably neko my friends and I used to love rabbit but it went to shit

firefox and lemmy I guess

Firefox, VLC, LibreOffice

Is Android a valid answer? Maybe not Google's monstrosity but AOSP (although I feel as though it's hard to extricate one from the other save for projects like GrapheneOS).

I use Librewolf for all of my personal browsing

I'm only going to mention desktop software, there's too many tools and layers involved in spinning up a server.

Daily use (most used first):

• Firefox
• MRemoteNG
• Notepad++
• VS Code
• Git
• WinSCP
• 7-zip (love the tool but hate the format, storage and bandwidth is cheap now, let's just use zip please)
• VLC
• Python

It's a pretty boring list: connectivity tools, text editors, and version control are placed front and centre. That said they are great tools and I would hate to live in a world where I was limited to only proprietary products

Stuff I wish I had more time to use:

• Godot
• Blender
• Audacity
• Krita

Special mention:

• QGIS (and the whole OSGeo ecosystem)
• qBittorrent
• RetroArch (and all the FOSS emulators it promotes)
• OpenTTD
• GIMP/Inkscape (I don't need them often but I'm glad they are their!)

Blender, by far :)

The Linux Kernel and operating system in general. It is simultaneously my favorite and I hate that it killed my prior favorite, the SGI Irix operating system. I was there at the beginning, from kernel 1.1 through today. I remember telling regional directors at silicon graphics that Linux was the future and them disparaging that opinion.

Yggdrasil, an IPv6 end to end encrypted networking proof of concept. There's something about it that I find so innovative that I want it to succeed so badly !

If I had to pick only one artifact's worth: bash, probably. Otherwise:

• bash
• vim
• Linux (the kernel itself)
• Kubernetes
• Firefox
• urxvt
• Python
• pacman
• nix
• util-linux
• procps-ng
• iproute2
• iptables(-ng)/ebtables
• GNU parallel
• jq

mpv.io !
I discovered it before covid, and it is really lightweight and customizable. So many plug-ins, and they're so simple to create.
I was usually having issues with VLC or settings that he didn't have. No issues with mpv, so far.

Godot game engine without a doubt.

Firefox, GNU Linux, VLC, GIMP, Krita, Blender (even if I didn't used it that much), Lemmy of course with it's different FOSS clients

Linux, Firefox, Bitwarden, Android
