My categorised list with hundreds of open source alternatives to proprietary software has been updated with even more options (gadgeteer.co.za)

My list is separated into 30 separate categories to help find your area of interest whether it is networking, security, messengers, video editing, education, etc. It is also backed up to the Wayback Machine for future reference.

I update this page as and when something new of interest crosses my path so there are usually bi-weekly or monthly updates.

Ok, we need a federated alternative to Alternativeto.net

You should add Godot underneath programming and next to game-editor.

For monitoring, i didn't see Zabbix or Netdata:

https://git.zabbix.com/projects/zbx/repos/zabbix/browse

https://github.com/netdata/netdata

I also didn't see OBS for broadcasting either:

Thanks have added them all. Can't believe I left OBS out as i use it all the time myself.

This might be out of scope for the list, but I thought of it after I saw your response.

Stride3d game engine: https://github.com/stride3d/stride

Thanks I added it.

Let's add some more

Utilities: https://ninite.com/ - Install and Update All Your Programs at Once

https://www.notion.so - productivity and note-taking web application

https://www.voidtools.com/ - Everything, a Windows search function that actually works

Network https://kubernetes.io/- Kubernetes (if we have Openshift on the list, we should also post the real OG)

https://k8slens.dev/ - Kubernetes IDE

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

OK have added Kubernetes. The first 3 tho are freeware and not open source. It seems lens only has the core open source for extension development, and the overlaying Desktop Lens product is not actually open source?

The link to Libra is broken

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

OK thanks fixed it, but marked it as freemium and not open source.

The link for "Open Source Living" seems to be incorrect. I found https://www.opensourceliving.org/ on searching, but I'm not sure if that's what you're referring to.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 years ago (1 children)

Thanks for pointing that one out, it was one of the very old links but no it actually went to a service that was an archive of the Web's best Open Source software, applications and references for a zero-cost / top quality digital experience. The image still exists on the Wayback Machine. So removed it for now.

Also, the link for GNU Solfege is incorrect. It should be: https://www.gnu.org/software/solfege/

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 years ago

Thanks I updated it - seems they lost the other domain
