What kinds of free software does /furi/ like to use?
Do you use free a program to draw? Make 3D models? Make music? Edit video? Or just for everyday productivity?
Are you a strictly open-source kind of person? Or are you fine with proprietary? Know any neat freeware utilities?
Share the cool shit you use to get things done, as long as it's FREE!
This useful site helped me find alternatives to common programs:
https://alternativeto.net/I encountered a lot of cool software synthesizers and other music utilities while I was looking for a free digital audio workstation last year. All the "free" ones that came bundled with an audio interface that I bought not only had licenses for some reason, but also bullshit limitations like a limited number of installations, or requirements like attaching the license to an account with personal info, shit like that.
I've got the FOSS essentials starter pack: Firefox, Thunderbird, 7zip, VLC Media Player, qBitTorrent, Notepad++, and I've been trying to get used to GIMP. I don't use anything by Google anymore, aside from visiting YouTube but I stayed logged out. I've actually made a lot of effort in the past couple years to get off of their radar, including paying for E-mail service somewhere else but that's another story.
