I know some of you have gone complies FOSS, but I believe if the developer wants to make money from their apps, there’s noting wrong with it, as long as they are ethical. So what are your favorite non-foss apps?

Workflowy and Teuxdeux are two web apps where I spend an embarrassingly large amount of my time online. I wish there were FOSS alternatives because I would happily contribute features and fixes to the issues I bump into in my daily usage.

Steam.

A linux client that works, and actually gets fixes, improvements, and features, that is a lot.

Davinci Resolve

Really good video editor, and also, has Linux client.

I guess foobar2000 is non-foss as it’s free but not open source.

Strawberry is a good drop-in replacement for foobar2000.

There’s also DeaDBeeF, which has more UI customization available as far as I can tell.

Isn’t Strawberry a fork of Clementine? I was using Clementine for years before I realized it had been abandoned, and unfortunately Strawberry doesn’t have any podcast support. Iirc they don’t have any intention of supporting podcasts either so for me at least it doesn’t truly fill the void.

It is, and Clementine was a fork of KDE’s Amarok 1.4. No plans to support podcasts unfortunately but there is streaming support.

I’ll second Strawberry. I loved foobar and was worried about losing it when I migrated to linux, but I found Strawberry and it looks and functions just the way I liked foobar.
