A few I haven't seen mentioned:

  • Moon+ Reader - My favorite ebook reader of all time.
  • Tea Time - Simple timer widgets
  • Simple Time Tracker - Track what you do
  • NES.emu, Snes9x EX+, M64+ FZ - Emulators
  • Thunder - Lemmy
  • Root Explorer - file explorer
  • Lichess - Chess, free of ads, no fees. Almost entirely FOSS.

Also +1 to the usual favorites: Firefox, Termux, Nova, etc.

I think my problem is trying to run docker at the same time. Docker messes heavily with iptables and makes it a real pain.

I did this as well, but I'm wondering if it was the wrong call. It's harder to work with firewalls (particularly if docker is involved), and I've struggled with stuff like SyncThing.

Most likely more learning could solve it, but I wonder if I should switch to a dedicated router OS where more support resources are available.

Kubuntu currently is working really well for me. I'm not a hardcore Linux user (used it lightly for many years, daily driver for only couple), so it's nice to use Ubuntu where there's plenty of online answers. Plus I like KDE. So Kubuntu is a good fit.

I recently tried Fedora for a while, but I just had problem after problem with my hardware. It was good aside from that.

I agree.

I liked the simplicity of Audacity, but every change is destructive, so any changes that involve multiple steps are a problem. For example, consider this sequence: 1) remove noise, 2) add reverb 3) change pitch 4) trim ends 5) oh shoot, I want to change reverb settings.

With a full DAW like Reaper, steps 1, 2, and 3 are adding effects but not changing the original audio. So if you want to tweak the settings or remove the effect, it's no problem.

There's many other benefits, but this is the issue that really motivated me to move to Reaper.

If you're talking about streaming your own music, you could set up Jellyfin and then do all of the work to safely put it behind a reverse proxy and access it remotely.

It's a lot of work though, and you don't get new music. Still, that's about as good as you're going to get if you want a legal FOSS option (others have posted illegal options if you're looking for that.)
