I know some of you have gone complies FOSS, but I believe if the developer wants to make money from their apps, there’s noting wrong with it, as long as they are ethical. So what are your favorite non-foss apps?

    Steam.

    A linux client that works, and actually gets fixes, improvements, and features, that is a lot.

    Davinci Resolve

    Really good video editor, and also, has Linux client.

    Spotify is the only subscription I ever pay, even though I’m an avid pirate and I don’t have any qualms about pirating music, I love the Spotify algorithm so much, it introduces me to new music all the time which is something I love

    Davinci Resolve is mind bogglingly good video editing software and the free (beer) version is all 90% of people need.

      Joplin is another FOSS alternative to Obsidian. I’ve been using it for years; it let’s you encrypt your notes in place so they can’t be read without the client having the password to access them.

    Wanting to make money from your app doesn’t prevent you from making it foss, therefore I have no favourite proprietary apps

    I think you’ve got a bit of a misconception about FOSS software - you’re allowed to make money selling it, you just also have to provide the source code to any customers! A fair few FOSS apps have free versions on F-Droid but paid versions on the Play store, for example.
