My categorised list with hundreds of open source alternatives to proprietary software has been updated with even more options

https://gadgeteer.co.za/opensourcesoftware

My list is separated into 30 separate categories to help find your area of interest whether it is networking, security, messengers, video editing, education, etc. It is also backed up to the Wayback Machine for future reference.

I update this page as and when something new of interest crosses my path so there are usually bi-weekly or monthly updates.

Ok, we need a federated alternative to Alternativeto.net

You should add Godot underneath programming and next to game-editor.

Let's add some more

Utilities: https://ninite.com/ - Install and Update All Your Programs at Once

https://www.notion.so - productivity and note-taking web application

https://www.voidtools.com/ - Everything, a Windows search function that actually works

Network https://kubernetes.io/- Kubernetes (if we have Openshift on the list, we should also post the real OG)

https://k8slens.dev/ - Kubernetes IDE

OK have added Kubernetes. The first 3 tho are freeware and not open source. It seems lens only has the core open source for extension development, and the overlaying Desktop Lens product is not actually open source?

For monitoring, i didn't see Zabbix or Netdata:

https://github.com/netdata/netdata

I also didn't see OBS for broadcasting either:

Thanks have added them all. Can't believe I left OBS out as i use it all the time myself.

This might be out of scope for the list, but I thought of it after I saw your response.

Thanks have added Gajim as I use it, but put link to other clients as there are many XMPP apps.

XMPP is actually a great protocol that has expanded over time with lost of additional functionality, including secure networking. It has both channels and blog subscriptions (not supported by all clients). The only other protocol I know of that has extendible features like this is Nostr. Both really put ActivityPub to shame apart from the federation aspect. Actually wondering if XMPP has a Lemmy/Reddit type link aggregation with voting.
