A list of both Software and some games that are FOSS or Freeware :) the list is in random order.

All software are free and opensource completely and are as good as any other paid proprietary software.These all are highly productive tools for daily life work.

Like my previous list, this is to help people switch to Linux and Open Source. This time, the focus is on creative professionals and hobbyists: artists, musicians, writers, etc. 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 either freedom-respecting or non-subscription-based. The simple rule is: once it requires an account (email, phone number, etc.) to use it, then it will be placed after the ones I actually recommend. Of course, there will be a few exceptions, but these are ONLY to point out that even big, well-known software is available on Linux as well. These exceptions will be at the end of each section. Each section lists my recommendations in order of best (in my opinion) to good enough. In most cases, proprietary and non-freedom-respecting app/services will be last in each category, except for Obsidian, which is proprietary but respects your freedom and privacy. If you don't like my choices, click on the app to search for alternatives right here on this website. Convenient. Note: This list was originally started as an unfinished thread I was writing. A very long one that goes into more than just alternatives, but also why you should use them — like protecting democracy and freedom, how your tax dollars should be spent, how important open source is in our digital age, etc. Here is that unfinished thread: https://forum.endeavouros.com/t/wip-how-to-tell-if-you-can-switch-to-linux-software-alternatives/58912#p-574301-creators-31 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.
