What's your favourite Freeware, OpenSource Progz?

Hey dear Ververs,

what are your favourite Freeware, OpenSource Programs (not only GFX)?

In Graphics
VERVE (it even top Krita) - KRITA (OpenSource, it runs very fine in Ubuntu) and APOPHYSIS (Freeware?)

Office/Internet
LibreOffice (why I should use Microsoft Office?)
Keepass V1.x and Keepass-X for Linux* (very good Safe vor passwords, I really know only my master-password,)
Firefox (the best Internetbrowser for me, I use ist since October 2004 - 10 Years!!!!! One of my first OpenSource Software in action)

POTPLAYER (Windows only) - better like VLC Player and PotPlayer is from the same Korean-Devolper of the KMplayer - but KMPLAYER is since some years full of adware

Games - I don't play Games since some years, but BZFLAG also for free, was very funny for me

Some other Tools for Windows
7z / 7zip (Windows only) ... the best tool for zip, rar and other archive file formats
HDD Tune, checking HDDisks
Prime95 nice tool for checking CPU or RAM* Errors

Rescatux and/or Ultimate Boot CD (it include MEM86) - if you have serious Problems, e.g. booting - or RAM checking

OS
Linux Ubuntu & Lubuntu, Windows 7 I need only for Graphic-Tools and Lubuntu works fine for my very old Laptop, IBM T30 - Ubuntu I use as dualboot with my PC ....

I can't say because i participate of yet 77 pages to promote this sort of thing! (only free or open source)
But the more easy and serious/funny is maybe Chaoscope
Every day at the breakfast a new one! No time losted: 3 keys - less 5 seconds!

Flamepainter is not free, but I own it and I forget that to mention that - you can try a free java-sandboxversion here

Hey, good topic, indeed!

Of course Verve right now And Gimp, VLC, Unity 3D, VirtualBox, XMplay, werkkzeug4..

I like to play games but don´t have much free time and I cannot remember good free game. Maybe some logic games like gomoku, chess, parking cars..
But what I can recommend to play is: Dear Esther. it is not a typical game and it takes only about 2,5hrs to complete but its atmosphere will persist inside you for looong time..

And Alan Wake (PC version) for example.

Oh dear, don't start with games!!!
There some stunning games out there F2P (free to play). I stumbled across warframe, tanki, stupid miniclip and that stuff...can eat up your time bitterly, but- dear me- it can be fun.
With great distance to everything else, my favorite free "toys" are Sculptris and Musagi.

Ah yes, just the oldest and more aesthetic best game ! I am fan!
(and the more difficult to program ! )
The Go Game!
Five minutes to learn the rules, many lives for increase your level!
Have fun!


You can play free in 9*9 with IGowin
No time losted: a play is like 2 minutes!

Sure normal way is 19*19 with a cup of thea is a little more longer!


Look how this can be cool!

In other way another cool thing : Game of Life! Created by John Conway
Free with Golly


Some own derivation

One Freeware lost my trust in the last time, thats FILEZILLA - it includes spyware, even on sourceforge ... but now I use FireFTP ... great Firefox Plugin for linux & windows (in one compatible firefox-profile).
Uh thunderbird is also great, I never used outlook or other software ... - also since 2005 or 2004 I use Thunderbird.

Oh, I think, I even donated to FireFTP. It's PRECIOUS! So easy, luv it!
