Some programs or websites you recommend?

I'm looking to explore what the open source world has to offer, I'm big in using FOSS programs and wanted to see what else there is.

I also maintain one at openaltfinder.com, although it's specifically designed to find alternatives to proprietary software.

Wait I always used the free lunch one. I didn't know another list existed

Much like fish, there is always a another list.

F-Droid is great to find open source Android programs. And for general open source software just installing any Linux distribution and looking in its software store equivalent will give you plenty of choices.

This fdroid guide is 2.5yrs old, but still offers an excellent overview.

https://libregamewiki.org/Roguelike_games

There are more games on there, but I have been meaning to try the roguelike stuff out.

Honestly, the most surprising part about this is that NetHack is still getting active releases. Looks like 5.0.0 landed just a few months ago?

Since you like roguelikes, I'll have to propose Tales of Maj'Eyal.

I wrote a post about it not long ago here where you can read abit more info.

Speaking of games, if you like strategy give Battle for Wesnoth a try

Flathub / Search is good for exploration in my opinion. I even found programs there, just to install it through a different package manager. If you are looking for FOSS only, just make sure the license is Open Source compatible. There is an icon on each app page you can click for more information:

Edit: You can apply a filter in the Search to show Open Source licensed projects only.
