Hello, I would like to hear your open source alternatives for programs that we use everyday.

For me:

  • Youtube music on phone -> metrolist
  • Google maps -> organic maps Now it’s coMaps
  • Windows -> linux
  • Android -> grapheneos
  • Reddit -> lemmy (racoon client on phone)
  • Youtube on phone -> newpipe
  • Youtube on pc -> youtube-tui with mpv
  • Music offline -> yt-dlp
  • Clients for offline music -> pc: rmpc phone:gramophone
  • communication -> signal, might change to molly
  • usage of localsend and syncthing, but syncthing is little buggy for me with long name files and permissions :/
  • amplitube plugin for guitar -> guitarix, which i used to under rate
  • want to move from discord -> element, but i have to try screensharing with audio and etc.
  • maybe will try to move from yt to peertube, but i think it lacks content. I have to dig deeper

Thats my list, tell me yours :)
