Practically every single FOSS application I use is highly useful to me, and of course, free, so I'll just list them all here.
Edit: And Umbrel (on Raspberry Pi) if you want to host things more easily. Basically just a much more hands-off, user-friendly docker for people who don't want to tinker as much.
Edit 2: Non-FOSS, but Obsidian is the best note taking app I've ever used. Great selection of community-made plugins (which are FOSS) for additional functionality, and all notes are in standard cross-software-compatible Markdown. No locked-in proprietary formats.
Came here to recommend those first two exactly
I can suggest LogSeq as a nice alternative for Obsidian. Notes are all in Markdown too!
It's good, but it does not allow for a free file structure. Used it for months but now back to obsidian. Also plugins
For free file structure you could also checkout Silverbullet.
Plugins are also keeping me on Obsidian as opposed to using LogSeq, but I'm essentially keeping it in my back pocket as a "fire exit" in the case of Obsidian enshittifying, since of course all Obsidian notes are in markdown and cross-compatible.
Syncthing is awesome for home devices backups like phone pictures and videos and computer documents that can be version controlled. I also use Local Send app to share files between phones and computers in the house.
Some of your data flows through Syncthing servers (but I agree that's a great product, I use it myself) LibreOffice works for entry-level users, but it does not have the same functionality as MSOffice. And the UI sucks as much as MSOffice.
You can buy office separately these days again. Not sure if Libreoffice is feature complete these days, but last time I tried it, it was missing a lot of the more advanced featureslike Solver/Powerquery/certain advanced formulas.
I recommend it for everybody and if it is not for you, you wil realise it in a couple of minutes of working with it if you are a oower user
Great list, post saved
How does Cashew compare to GnuCash?
Nice I'll definately check those out. For office I use OnlyOffice
I use near the same stuff. But I don't like these all-in-one centers like umbrel and Casa. I simply use dockge.
And happy cake day.
