MusicBrainz Picard: superb mp3 tagger with online metadata lookup feature and audio track fingerprinting
Open Hardware Monitor: track and visualise CPU/GPU/HDD/etc. performance over time
(I've been using the original repo that I see hasn't been updated in some years, this is a more active fork.)
FanControl: superb PC fan manager with custom temperature/fan speed curves and the options to combine sensors whatever way you like
Open Video Downloader: Download any video or playlist from Youtube as audio and/or video, in various resolutions.
CopyQ: clipboard manager with history and pinned items
The UI is a bit janky, but it does the job well.
Tox is easy-to-use software that connects you with friends and family without anyone else listening in. While other big-name services require you to pay for features, Tox is completely free and comes without advertising. Chat, P2P serverless, screen/file sharing, voice, video, groups, encrypted.
GrayJay platform player. I use it for youtube only but it has many sources.
Grayjay enables you to create and watch video content in your own terms, fully retaining ownership and having control over what you watch. Your content on your terms

(Not to poop on NewPipe, but this app is better in my opinion, I swapped after their player was bugged for me and I got a bit annoyed on the devs response to not adding SponsorBlock (you can say no to a feature ofc, but he decided to add reasoning that was bad))
@dogs0n It's not open source
Is that repo not the code or does it have a (bad) license or something?
@dogs0n Yeah the license is not open source. It restricts use, modifications and distributions. I thought people in this community would know what the name of the community means.
Rip. I had a look and have never heard of their license before.
@dogs0n There is now a great collection of all of these openwashing cases: https://isitreallyfoss.com/
Looks like a great resource thank you for the edumacation
MakeHuman is a 3D character creation software designed to simplify the creation of virtual humans through a graphical user interface. The software allows users to create realistic human characters by adjusting parameters like gender, age, height, weight, and ethnicity through slider controls. Characters can be customized with clothes, hair, poses, and materials from the built-in library and exported to 3D soft, like Blender.
I love that it has a gender slider
I imagine it affects several parameters that you can also change separately in a CLI, allowing for a multidimensional gender scale.
This looks really cool! Thanks for the share
Logseq: note-taking and knowledge management application that supports Markdown and Org-mode syntax, featuring powerful linking, block-based organization, and full local data storage for privacy
There's also SiYuan, which is more Notion-like in its functionality, but open source and uses local storage.

PairDrop like Localsend or Airdrop but working on anything that has an internet connection and a resonably new web Browser! You can share files even when on different networks, by pairing devices. Works like a charm.
linux fork (not production ready yet) https://github.com/BrycensRanch/SnapX
It's not easy, ShareX depends on NetFramework components, which Linux don't have, it don't even work well with Wine, because of this until now all intents are not very functional or even abandoned (ShareNix (early alpha), ShareXin (archived)....). It's better to use Screenshot tools for Linux, even if they all aren't so complete like ShareX. Architecture differences between Windows and Linux are very big.
