For me it is KDE Plasma desktop. By far the most powerful, customizable, flexible and innovative of the computer desktops today. And despite all these features and power it is still one of the more lightweight ones.
Also there are other great KDE apps and GNU/Linux operating system in general. Just love how they respect my digital rights and freedoms and my privacy and I do not need to use proprietary alternatives which are just getting more bloated and include more and more spyware. Not to mention their constant dumbing down of the interface and closing it up.

OpenSSH!
Jellyfin
Blender
Darktable
Bitwarden / VaultwardenDarktable is awesome. People rave on about Lightroom like it’s irreplaceable, but Darktable exists and is a legit alternative.
wtf BLENDER is open source???
Yep, there are quite a few forks of it too, eg. one for artists with a friendlier UI, a CAD-focused one, a game engine one etc.
Wow I never heard of these. Bforartists seems pretty interesting as a newbie to blender in general lol.
Linux! The responsible for my knowledge in computing and a great deal of English…Linux is the power!
I switched to Linux Mint full-time a few months ago and it’s blown me away with how good it is.

Cura. I’ve been using it for over a decade, and it is still hands down the best 3D printing slicer. S3D (I think that was it’s name) was on top for a while, but was ~$200 for features that really weren’t worth the money.
VLC and OBS
I’ll reply in a kind of opposite to the subject. I can’t believe there aren’t any decent open source 3d CAD programs that are worth a damn.
For some reason i thought Brave was closed source
As a creative: Blender. It was always a good program but thank god they finally started hiring people, that actually know how to design a usable UI. I remember the times when the devs refused to change the simple default selection to the worldwide standard: left mouse button.
Good lord I didn’t know about the selection thing… I might be sick.
Yeah and that’s only the tip of the iceberg.
Did you know that Blender use to unironically use Shift+Ctrl+Alt+C for a surprisingly common operation?
I don’t actually remember what for, 2.79 was years ago, but I think it placed the object origin at the center of the geometry
Rough!
The Linux ecosystem as a whole
Firefox is the first to come to mind. Also all the KDE software (when run in KDE).
qbittorrent
VSCode. I know its owned by Microsoft but its such a good editor. Having a strong tool is so important since nobody wants to be concerned about the app, they just want to code and do their work!
