Where are all the great Developers! Where are You at because here is what should happen . Get your whole team whatever you call it gather them up and I would like to see any of em let alone one of yall outdo Claude Opus! Claude is a fu,,,,,,Beast. Yall people gonna be left kicking up dust crying over spilled milk. The human egos automatic response to a situation when its not even under attack says it all. But this is just my opinion. And just like money ain all money good money, same with ai. No...
I would add Artix Linux into the list, it works perfectly, I use it with arch repos and aur and i never got big issues. Solus for beginners is also pretty nice And in your firefox mention you could add Zen browser too, which works like a charm!
Linux Mint
★★★★★
The easiest alternative to windows when you are a newbie in Linux world. After you get used to Linux Mint you can try more advanced distros like Debian, Fedora, Solus and finally use some rolling release like Arch :D (Rolling releases will give you the fastest updates and they don't break usually if you know what you are doing)
The best opensource alternative
Also Chromium-based

Popular App Lists
AI Slopfree Software Catalog
A more optimistic homage to the slopware catalog https://alternativeto.net/lists/44427/slopware/, this list is designed to showcase projects, both FOSS and proprietary, which reject contributions from Generative AI LLM slop machines. The most pessimistic thing about this list is how short it is and how so many commonly used software solutions and websites are not included.
I have to give it up to the following sites for providing references:
https://codeberg.org/brib/slopfree-software-index
https://github.com/melissawm/open-source-ai-contribution-policies
There are a lot more projects on this list which I didn't include because they aren't on AlternativeTo (yet). I'll be adding more entries to this site (and removing those who fold to the AI overlords) on a regular basis. I'm including references, which are all first-hand declarations from the development teams for each entry to ensure items aren't included based on hearsay or conjecture.

Apps I Use on GrapheneOS
If you are using GrapheneOS on your main phone, then you have made the first and most important step towards privacy in your daily life (in my opinion of course). Most people use their phones more than any other device, and have their phones on them almost all the time, so ensuring that your phone is as private as you can reasonably and comfortably make it is a great move. Switching the operating system is only the first step however. If you move from an iPhone full of big tech apps to GrapheneOS and then install all those apps again, what is the point? Sure, you will have a more private and secure system, but you would subject yourself to being tracked every time you open an app. So, we need to find alternatives to these apps, that are open source, don't track us, keep everything possible local, and don't have an ulterior agenda beyond being the tool you are looking for.
