Web Browser:

Terminal Emulator:
Alacritty. best terminal.

Image Editor:
GIMP. This is a no-adobe household.

Video Editor:
Kdenlive is pretty crashy but eh shotcut won’t even work. Also it’s gotten much better since 2020 (when I first started using it)
-
Screen Recorder:
Do I even need to say it? OBS.
-
Text Editor:
Recently switched to Doom Emacs, before that it wasNeoVim.

Email Client:
Thunderbird because I’m too lazy to configure mutt/neomutt.

I have both lf and pcmanfm on my system but those are for noobs.
cd

,mv
,cp
are the best things. -
Shell:
Fish but I might go back to zsh idk

Stock Android (Nothing OS) just because my phone has an intact warranty.

Camera:
I use OpenCamera because the default cam on Lineage is horrible. (Or the default app on Nothing OS)

YouTube Client:
Newpipe is beautiful.
-
Web Browser:
Firefox for android is garbage, but Firefox Focus is somehow the best! I use ffupdater to download and update privacy respecting web browsers on my phone.

FreeOTP+ is great but nowadays I just use KeePassXC on my laptop.
