One I use every day is ShareX.
Your simple, every day, web browser. It doesn't matter which one. They're all free and they all are the main, basic way of accessing the internet.
I'd have used "the internet" itself, but most people still have to pay to get connected to it.
SwiftBackup! It helps me a lot every time I need to try a new custom ROM.
Youtube hands down. Youtube is the best dad, best teacher, biggest information hub, and arguably the best meme generator in existence. The fact i can dive into any type of video content and come out feeling like i gained so much is incredible.
Go ahead and try out Piped or Invidious, you may not get the same quality when it comes to recommendations, but your privacy will thank you.
YouTube hardly classifies as free.
You just have to curate the auto-suggestions. After a little while mine basically only suggests me educational/science videos and movie reviews/analysis.
total commander (file manager + ftp/sftp client) for android,
openvpn
I still run Total Commander v3.31, before Google made them gimp some of the features.
Warpinator. Use it all the Time, easy file transfer without and fuss.
Want to transfer files between your PC and Phone? -No Problem
Want to send some Screenshots from your Steam-Deck to your PC? - You can do it too.
any web browser
Proxmox and OPNsense. Blows me away that I can get that level of functionality completely open source.
Proxmox is so good it's hard to believe. It's VMware levels of features and convenience, while also supporting LXC containers, no license shenanigans, no enshitification, and the full flexibility of Debian under the hood
The recent-ish addition of Proxmox Backup Server is the cherry on top, with de-duplicated , incremental system image level backups with support for individual file restore
