Blender.

The only reason I got into 3D is Blender. I wanted to make some models for my favorite game many years ago and the developer of that game used blender to make them. I follwed the famous Donut tutorial (the old 2.7 one) and it opened the eyes for me that blender was so much more than a modeling tool. I had used SFM before in small amounts to make tf2 wallpapers, so I guess I wasn't completely new to CG, but Blender kinda shaped in which direction I steered my life.

I can't live without fre:ac. It's an open source project aimed at being the best and most accurate CD ripping and audio converting software. It supports Linux, Windows, and I think Mac OS as well. It's very similar to Exact Audio Copy for Windows. I'm a big music fan who still rejects streaming so I need this.

There are too many so I've compiled them here: Mostly excellent β€œfree” software.

When obligated to pick one it'd be AutoKey: β€œa desktop automation utility for Linux and X11.” Relatively and subjectively speaking, without it I feel hampered like crazy while most other software is β€œjust” convenient.

Why is ReVanced crossed out? Works fine for me

It was broken for a while so I sought alternatives. I just now reinstalled it and updated the list. Thank you for the reminder.

Joplin because I struggled for years with a consistent way to keep and refer to notes that I could find easily at a moment's notice and access from any device, anywhere.

(Please don't tell me about how you use a text editor and markdown in your home directory Like GH* INTENDED because I tried that FOR A DECADE and it didn't work for me. I'm old and cranky. Get off my lawn! :)
