It's amazing that opensource, community funded projects can be better than their for profit counterparts. They do so much more with much less resources. :D

Those FOSS videos are really great! Keep them coming pls!

So much value, respect. I’ll start donating you bro

I think you missed out on Blender. It’s seriously awesome and while you can find closed source alternatives that do similar things there’s nothing quite like it for versatility, extensibility, and wide usability.

I installed fedora yesterday. It is really impressive how much Linux evolved recently. It is a enjoyable experience. I'm not ready for changing to Linux permanently as I game a lot on 4k and need each of those fps for playing hahaha. The difference from 30fps to 35 is massive.

Agreed, except Calyx. Graphene seems to be more stability. No errors, clean updates, everything works smooth. I would like to use Calyx. Maybe my knowledge isn‘t far enough...
But I‘m thankfully for all these guys doing this hard work for us!

The great information this channel provides is very helpful, but it would be even more so if you would put links in the description to the software you mention in your videos.

Big fan of you mr. henry
great content

And now the ones you have forgotten:
Vlc
Postgresql
Gcc
Every good neural network library (Tensorflow, Keras, Torch, ...)
Blender
Godot
Every Linux desktop (Mate, Gnome, KDE, Lxde, ...)
Nginx
Gazebo
OpenCV
OpenAL
Pulseaudio (despites all the critics in the past, the last few years it has become aweasome)
ROS
Lots of text editors (Geany, notepadqq, atom, vim)
Every good programming interpreter which language is still used (python, Php, Bash)
OBS
Lutris
Wine/Proton
OpenGL and Vulkan
OpenXR
I might still be missing a lot.

2 years later, tired of my data being harvested so I installed grapheneOS. So far I'm loving it. Main desires on phone is calling, texting, secure messaging, and decent navigation.
Anything else is bonus.
Wondering why grapheneOS is not on this list and if it would make it in 2022.

How do I harden Brave Browser on desktop? I know Firefox is better but this is for my dad and he prefers chromium. What extensions do I need or not need so I dont have a unique fingerprint?

[lockpicker]

Bitwarden has "Sent" built in so you can send files over that. Not sure on size limit though.

[redeyesdrogon]

The 4 dislikes on this video are people who use non-privacy softwares

[mr.f]

Did you show case pop-os already? I am so happy with it :)

[RaeesUnboxingwala]

I wasn't knowing how onion share works, thanks for letting us know

[solurajan]

I use brave, bitwarden and LineageOS, planning to migrate to MicroG LineageOS

[ridhawritescode]

Godot is a FOSS game engine that beats unity in a lot of different ways it's still pretty young but it's got a lot of promise.

i used brave for 2 days now and with many youtube tabs open and still better then chrome got almost 4 to 5 percent cpu temperature drop
