Post memes here.
A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

Sometimes slightly worse. Like LibreOffice.
Sometimes actually better, like VLC.
Sometimes about the same, like the latest version of MuseScore (older versions were, in fact, quite a bit worse).
But sometimes, like with older versions of GIMP (I'll admit, I've not tried its latest major version release candidate) it's significantly worse.
Libreoffice is slightly worse because all the proprietary office suites keep lowering the bar for everyone to follow them. It's not a quality issue, it's a never ending contest to figure out how to complicate writing a simple letter so that everyone has to buy only your software.
If you like professional photography, you can try darktables. It's a replacement for Lightroom and it's great in my opinion.
Gimp is still useful for quick and simple edits. It's a bit weird to use though.
See, the problem with that is that that's precisely not how I use Photoshop. I don't use it often (certainly not often enough to actually pay for it), but when I do, I tend to go fairly deep.
I should try out Darktable though. I used to use Aperture until it was discontinued, and these days I frequently use Lightroom, though I don't really love it.
I genuinely doesn't know there's paid media player out there, VLC came preinstall on all my prebuild PC purchase since forever.
There definitely exist paid players out there (or at least used to...dunno if they still exist), but there are also "free" (as in beer) non-free (as in speech) options, like the ones included out of the box in a Windows or macOS installation.
LibreOffice is more than slightly worse, but FOSS projects cover the gamut. The thing about them is that the best ones are usually laser focused on exactly what the user needs, rather than what makes the most money.
Calc was actually quite comparable for 90% of Excel features I have ever actually used.
Writer is petty good on its own, but the fact that .docx documents don't quite matchup vs. When making and opening with Word makes it difficult for me to use officially.
Impress is just plain disappointing compared to PowerPoint.
Base might be okay, better than nothing I guess.
The rest of the suite I don't know.
I wonder how many paid apps were utterly decimated after they released VLC
