      I was recently introduced to this and I am very glad I found it. I was once recommended it, but then I thought they meant to attach a physical screen to my headless server....

        We all love open-source software, but there are so many amazing projects out there that often go unnoticed. Let's change that! Share your favorite open-source software that you think more people should know about. Here’s how you can contribute:

        1. Single Option Per Comment: Mention one open-source software per comment to be able to easily find the most popular software.
        2. No Duplicates: Avoid duplicating software that has already been mentioned to ensure a wide variety of options.
        3. Upvote What You Love: If you see a software that you also appreciate, upvote it to help others discover it more easily.

        Let's create a comprehensive list of open-source software that everyone should know about!

            Not sure what you mean. It runs games perfectly and the battery drain is seemingly minimal, not out of the ordinary compared to other games on the device.

              workaround: zip the folder?

              i know it's a little annoying, but it does make it into "one file" 😉

                  This is not open source software, it's licenced under the Anti Capitalist Software Licence.

                  I still appreciate it in this list, but the caveat is important

                    The craziest thing I discovered when I started using it was when I noticed that because my desktop was now connected to my phone and my phone was connected to my watch, I could completely control the media on both from my watch and the integration felt natural - but also something I haven't seen work that well in the proprietary world.

                      LocalSend should be called God Send because it'll save your life. It's AirDrop, but for everything and open source. Works really well, no setup, no server.

                          I love mullvad but im getting more and more captchas recently. Plus some streaming services only work without it. This is very sad, do any of the alternatives reduce this anti user behaviour or do i just have to live with it?

                              PairDrop like Localsend or Airdrop but working on anything that has an internet connection and a resonably new web Browser! You can share files even when on different networks, by pairing devices. Works like a charm.

                                      to publish ios apps you need to run xcode, last time I checked (admittedly it's been 7ish years) - and you need to build on mac hardware. none of which is cheap, especially for devs who don't see any additional revenue from their ios apps.

                                        We all love open-source software, but there are so many amazing projects out there that often go unnoticed. Let's change that! Share your favorite open-source software that you think more people should know about. Here’s how you can contribute:

                                        1. Single Option Per Comment: Mention one open-source software per comment to be able to easily find the most popular software.
                                        2. No Duplicates: Avoid duplicating software that has already been mentioned to ensure a wide variety of options.
                                        3. Upvote What You Love: If you see a software that you also appreciate, upvote it to help others discover it more easily.

                                        MakeHuman is a 3D character creation software designed to simplify the creation of virtual humans through a graphical user interface. The software allows users to create realistic human characters by adjusting parameters like gender, age, height, weight, and ethnicity through slider controls. Characters can be customized with clothes, hair, poses, and materials from the built-in library and exported to 3D soft, like Blender.
