For me its honestly a ton of my work software (digital forensics), shit is too niche to be replaced by good FOSS options. Cellebrite, Magnet Axiom, etc. Autopsy is great and free and has a linux version but it simply cannot get the same level of data without a pretty nutty level of custom code.

And the biggest side effect of this is FUCKING WINDOWS. God I would replace this nightmare OS in a heartbeat if the aforementioned work software would make linux compatible versions. We have legitimately wasted 10k hours dealing with windows bullshit that would not be a problem in linux. Though im sure linux would take a different 10k for its own problems.

What about you guys? Doesn’t have to be work related, thats just the thorn in my side right now.

        Dropbox has the feature that lets me scan PDFs using the phone camera. It also doesn’t need me to self-host.

        Google Photos allows quick refinements to a photo and sharing all the pictures with someone’s face in a gallery that they can then see, automatically.

        I don’t know any alternative to Snapseed on mobile, and there’s barely anything as simple and polished on the desktop.
