    Apache OpenOffice??

    Surely you meant LibreOffice. OpenOffice has basically been dead for years, with no significant work going on.

    Why on earth is OpenOffice here??

    LibreOffice is the maintained fork.

    It has been that way for 16 years now.

    16 years.

    There are people working full time jobs who were born the same year that LibreOffice started.

    Stop promoting OpenOffice. People will have problems with it that have been long fixed in LibreOffice.

    Edit: typo

    Heck, they won’t even let you into a difficult-to-cancel subscription! What are they thinking? Think of the revenue!

    With enshitification nowadays, the fact that they’re nonprofit is the reason why the software is good quality.

    I’m not sure Firefox belongs on this list. Google finances Mozilla’s operation to the tune of $420M a year. It’s not for-profit, but it’s also not the same as the others.

      Google wants to finance anything they can get their damn search engine into, that’s not entirely the fault of Firefox. I still use a firefox-based browser, but only for now.

      There is ladybird on the horizon, a browser being built from scratch, not based on either Gecko or Webkit.

    Where is FreeCad in this one? I’ve started using it after buying a 3d printer, and it’s awesome what that piece of software lets me create.

    Man, you left out Obsidian, it is a godsend for studying and notetaking.

    Get an ultra-wide monitor, split it into four panes, one pane to import the pdf you want to read, another for note-taking, and spare another one for the AI for Markdown formatting and explaining texts (optional). I can’t think of a more efficient workflow for studying digitally.
