    Many solid recommendations already in this thread.

    A few things not mentioned enough:

    • Matrix as decentralized, secure messenger

    • Mastodon as decentralized Twitter alternative

    • Passbolt and KeepassX as open source password manager alternatives

    • Vivaldi if you want a Chrome based browser, LibreWolf for Firefox based

    • Filen and Syncthing for cloud storage & syncing (only read about both, have not tried them yet)

    • Floccus to keep bookmarks in sync

    • VeryCrypt for encrypting volumes in file containers (good support on all operating systems), if you are only on Linux LUKS/ext4 will do. Not FOSS but love Cryptomator for keeping encrypted files stored in cloud storage (as it does not create a single large volume but each file encrypted separately which is ideal for cloud storage)

    • FreeTube as desktop YouTube interface, NewPipe and Tubular on Android (saw another -Pipe mention in the thread too… there are many similar alternative interfaces)
