I first saw this on reddit, but I figured it would be good to make sure that this also stays accessible on another platform

A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

This list feel a little dated. On the top of my head I'd add "Visual Studio Code" for programming, Cakewalk for music composition, and Davinci Resolve for video editing.
And Visio and OneNote aren't free. Draw.io and Xournalpp would be potential alternatives.
OneNote is absolutely free. I use it for a lot of things, at home and work.
Edit: I guess, I should say that it doesn't cost money. It certainly isn't "free" as in "freedom", but it's incredibly handy.
Extremely dated. It looks like the list of software someone might have recommended back before I started using Reddit a decade ago.
How is it? I've been using KDEnlive forever.
Better than premiere, I dare say
A bit steeper of a learning curve than other video editors though, imo
I love it. It's surprisingly powerful for a completely free software. Takes bit of time to learn, but well worth it. Unless you just want to stitch clips together, then it might be a bit overkill.
Davinci isn't free as in FOSS, just free as in beer. Just FYI.
It's fantastic! You can use it as a simple editor, or you can literally do anything you want.
It's Adobe Premiere and After Effects combined. For free!
Also, I'd add Bitwarden to password managers
Edit: And AFAIK Eraser should not be used on modern SSDs
You could use it to shred individual files, but to wipe a disk there are better ways. Generally you would use an ata command or wipe the encryption key if it's encrypted.
Bitwarden for passwords!
Indeed!
Alright so not just me, it's useful but out of date. Some of these are still good, others have been replaced.
AIMP for all your music needs.
There's even a mobile version.
