    At the moment, it's not 1-to-1 clone to Foobar2000.

    Most of missing features usually is simply things not implemented yet.

    Go communicate to the dev about cool feature you want to see :)

It's Foobar for Linux. Don't even think - just switch.

Featured in Lists

Privacy-Respecting Apps and Services (Computers)

Choose freedom and continued democracy by switching away from big tech in your personal digital lives. Not all apps and services listed will be open source or even free (as in free beer), but they will at the very least be privacy-respecting. Of course, there will be a few exceptions, simply because they are necessary for some people, like for work. BUT, THEY ARE NOT NECESSARY FOR YOUR PERSONAL LIFE. Work-life balance is important. This list will get updated from time to time. Each section lists my recommendations in order of best (in my opinion) to good enough. Except for the Docs and OS sections, which are listed from easiest for beginners to better for creatives, techies, and professionals. These and the Video Conferencing section, which is listed based on needed for work to good enough for personal use. Lastly, the Linux operating systems (or distros) are at the end of the list because no matter which you choose, the majority of these apps can be installed on Windows, and can certainly be installed on any of the distros.
