I'm only going to mention desktop software, there's too many tools and layers involved in spinning up a server.

Daily use (most used first):

  • Firefox
  • MRemoteNG
  • Notepad++
  • VS Code
  • Git
  • WinSCP
  • 7-zip (love the tool but hate the format, storage and bandwidth is cheap now, let's just use zip please)
  • VLC
  • Python

It's a pretty boring list: connectivity tools, text editors, and version control are placed front and centre. That said they are great tools and I would hate to live in a world where I was limited to only proprietary products

Stuff I wish I had more time to use:

  • Godot
  • Blender
  • Audacity
  • Krita

Special mention:

  • QGIS (and the whole OSGeo ecosystem)
  • qBittorrent
  • RetroArch (and all the FOSS emulators it promotes)
  • OpenTTD
  • GIMP/Inkscape (I don't need them often but I'm glad they are their!)
