Obsidian and VLC.
VeraCrypt -- creating encrypted partitions/disks with easy manager. I am surprised I did not see anybody to mention it.

I logged in just to answer this:
Stellarium
When it comes to stargazing and learning more about the night sky, there is hands-down no better program. It's available on PC (windows/Mac/Linux) as well as mobile platforms. I used it for months for free before I paid for the premium sub, and the premium sub actually feels additive rather than just gatekeeping essential features. Plus, it's pretty cheap and you can choose to just buy a lifetime pass for $20 and skip the sub. It's the only app I've ever been happy to subscribe to.

Audacity
You may want to switch to Tenacity. Audacity was purchased by a company in 2021 that super promises not to try to sneak telemetry into the program. Again. For the third time.
Tenacity is a fork of Audacity without any of that nonsense.

Fan Control.
Free as in beer but definitely not free as in speech.
Notepad++ is also great for searching text strings in many documents and collating the results in a single window.
Terminal based text editors are garbage in the eyes of most people
Notepad++ is the simplicity of notepad with a few extra features to make it exactly what most people neef

Steam
Free
what?
Do you pay for steam?
Yes, about 30% of the purchase price of every game.
Lots of free games on there. Valve themselves just recently gave away half life 2 for free.
I can tell Dr steve doesn't game!
Buying games through steam is optional. Steam itself is the game manager. I run many of my non steam games through it and don't pay a dime for it. Alternatively I can buy steam games through 3rd party stores. The steam client on your machine is free.
They just get statistical data instead, then. I know some folks don't care about companies knowing your activity and other telemetry data, but I'd probably still count that within the "bullshit around" exclusion criteria that OP defined.
To be fair, you can just refuse to take part in that. They'll keep asking, every now and then, and you can keep saying no.
