Basically title. I waited on installing F droid for a long time because my phone threw many scary warnings when I tried a long time ago. But now I have it, and I got some fossify apps, but since there is no “Editor’s Picks” on F- droid I dont really know where to go from here....
These are my main core apps. Not fully divested from closed ecosystems (YouTube & Google Maps are in there with alternative private frontends). But close enough for me.
Mull - Private Firefox
OrganicMaps & GMaps WV - Maps
Eternity - Lemmy
Meglodon - Mastadon
ProtonVPN - VPN
AntennaPod - Podcasts
Bitwarden - Passwords
Joplin - Notes
NewPipe Sponsorblock - YouTube w/o ads or in-video promotions
Very good suggestion. Alternativeto.net is a great resource that I return to often. Eased the transition greatly when I originally left the “mainstream apps”.
Super Metroid’s color palette and lanky sprite were always a turn off for me. But I’m finally giving it a chance on SNES (MSU-1 version) & I’m really enjoying it!...
I use Linux at the office. I’m the only employee at my company who does.
I haven’t had many issues collaborating with others using libreoffice while they use MS office. I do keep a Windows VM running for those somewhat rare instances where I need Windows for something though. I also needed to invest quite some time to figure out Linux alternatives for everything (how to use company VPN, how to get MS Teams working, how to connect to network drives, etc).
But so far so good. Been 100% Linux at work for maybe ~1.5 years?
Congratulations! That’s awesome! I’ve been Google-free for 2-3 years, but I haven’t been brave enough to finally delete Gmail. I keep worrying I might need the message history one day?
Regarding Maps: I use OrganicMaps as my main, & I reflex to Gmaps WV when something isn’t in OrganicMaps. I feel this is a reasonable privacy-friendly compromise.

This is fantastic! Gnome is such a great project! Well done!
This will sound silly, but I didn’t realize that governments support open source like this. But it’s such a good idea! It’s similar to governments funding a park or a road any other public resource. Open source projects fit very nicely there!
I enjoy Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup played in the terminal with ASCII graphics. I wonder whether there are other hidden gems out there which don’t get attention because they are “ugly”?

Could we add alternativeto.net to the sidebar? (alternativeto.net)
It’s a great place to find alternatives (including opensource alternatives) to services and software.
