Awesome, open source work
A curated list of awesome apps for work
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.
Pre-Installed Windows Apps Alternatives.

Comments and Reviews
KMail could be a feature-rich powerhouse that outshines the alternatives, however, the settings UI is overwhelming, impractical and illogical. There's also too many unexpected default behaviours such as after successfully adding and syncing to a new email account, the draft/sent/trash folders remain local, and aren't synced with the identical folders online. As far as I know all other email clients I've used before do sync correctly.
Allows full signatures, extensive local filters & profiles per email account. Old LTS version from 2018 has a broken export.
