For me, it’s hands down Flameshot. The best screenshot tool in the world - I’ve got it hooked up to my PrtScrn key for super easy screenshots.

I also love Kwrite as a Notepad++ alternative, and KolourPaint as a MSPaint alternative

    I’m no capitalist but I feel compelled to point out that there’s money to be made from free software. Selling support or related services is one way, I think (even) Stallman gave the example back in the day of how he made money through selling physical copies of software (before online distribution was universally viable). The software was free and could be re-distributed, but a profit could be made from providing the service of doing the distribution.

    On a larger scale (although they’re not so popular at the moment), historically Red Hat has been the go-to example for how to make money and in the spirit of free software. They fund and contribute to many upstream FOSS projects, and in return they can make a fortune out of selling commercial support for that software, while the software itself is still free.

    Now, even Google are using FOSS for development, albeit in user-hostile ways that we should oppose at least as strongly as proprietary software.

      Did I object to making money? No. I object to allowing the making of money to be the guiding principle of software development. Make something great? Want to sell it? Fine. But only write it for Windows because it will sell better? Burn in heck.
