Terminal emulator to replace iTerm2.
Other good alternatives: Hyper,
Tabby Terminal &
Alacritty
File manager to replace Finder.
Other good alternatives: Thunar (if using Xfce) and
PCMan File Manager.
To use macOS software on Linux.
Also: Wine &
PlayOnLinux - PlayOnMac.

Also worth mentioning: Déjà Dup &
TimeShift
Partition manager to replace Disk Utility.
Also worth mentioning: GParted
Main web browser to replace Google Chrome (Google…) and
Safari.
Like I do on macOS, I would use Ungoogled Chromium or
Brave as my second web browser.
Email client to replace Apple Mail. I've also tried
Thunderbird, but it's too much and too bloated for me.
LucaMail also looks interesting.
This is the BitTorrent client I'm already using on macOS.
qBittorrent also looks pretty good but I've never tried it.
Firewall application that monitors and controls outbound internet traffic to replace Little Snitch.
To play videos and cast movies on my AndroidTV videoprojector.
To replace IINA and
Airflow.
Also worth mentioning: MPV &
Celluloid.
For video conversion/transcoding. It's already what I'm using on macOS.
As an image viewer to replace Preview.
Also worth mentioning: nomacs &
qView also look interesting, so I'd have to take a look at it.
For graphic design. It's already what I'm using on macOS.
Also: Gravit Designer &
Akira
For vector graphics editing to replace Affinity Designer.
Also: Vectr
A nice vector graphics app when I don't want to open Inkscape. It's free on Linux.
Video editor to replace Final Cut Pro X.
Also: Olive Video Editor &
DaVinci Resolve.
I'm not playing games on my Mac, so this would be new.
A free, open-source, cross-platform real-time strategy (RTS) game of ancient warfare.
Interesting list, mixing libre software with closed freemium.
Thanks for putting a light on Oni :)
If you prefer KDE integration:
For mail, there's also Kontact which can does what thunderbird does and more (cal, contacts), in a KDE integrated style.
For screenshots Spectacle is integrated with KDE, it's got timing options. Although flameshot is great to edit on the fly, you can edit with a almost-light editor like Krita.
And if you're not into Firefox (waterfox being outdated), try
https://github.com/Eloston/ungoogled-chromium instead of Google Chromium (which is bloated with spyware).
Cheers
Great list, but didn't specify what each one is equivalent to on the Mac. For me, finding Typora.io was a revelation since it is the closest to Bear Notes that I've found so far.
