God awful complexity but once you figure out how it all works it’s incredible.

MODERATORS
Quite a few of my favorites have already been mentioned, so I'll add some that live on my toolbar:
Zim, a desktop wiki with markdown and a lot of plugins. Great for organizing all of your notes with links and a fast search function.
Heroic launcher, for organizing your Epic, GOG and Prime collection.
Geany, an extremely configurable and light editor that can be as simple or as full featured as you want, via plugins.
Terminator, a solid multi terminal emulator where I spend most of my time at work.

May be a bit out there, but on Android, Shattered Pixel Dungeon is a rogue lite game that is free and extremely fun to play. No ads, not very demanding on your phone, still gets updates, and easy to pick up and play when you're out traveling.
Its a very hard game, where knowledge is very important, as well as experimentation.

VSCode. I don't get why Microsoft hasn't monetized it but I'm glad it is free. Has so many extensions and gets great updates, even if I don't understand half of the stuff in their patch notes when I open up the program.
Another one is a little program called Stacher that basically serves as GUI for yt-dlp. It's a very pretty one though! And all the settings and buttons are super great. I'm not very good with CLI stuff so I'm glad it exists for free, saves so much time.
you are the product 😉
Pretty much every major open source project at this point. I need to start looking into donating to the programs I use the most.
