On android, i wish Xplore file manager had an alternative. Didn't find anything to replace it. Dualpane file managers are the best. (btw, its one of the app where donating to dev really feels like he deserves it ).

Firmware in all the consumer devices I want to hack, but don’t want to reverse engineer.
adobe lightroom and photoshop. no, darktable and gimp are not as good. darktable barely functions with a trackpad and gimp is like photoshop from 2010.
~~Apart from the new Beta features, I've found 90% of my Photoshop workflow is replicated in Photopea~~
edit: I am an idiot - Photopea is not open source. Although it will help remove a reliance on Windows.
photopea is not open source ☹️
Affiinity Photo, Affinity Designer and Affinity Publisher for me. I can't afford the Adobe stuff, and the Affinity software is pretty decent, but still not OSS.

Any program that communicates with USB connected hardware via a non-standard, Windows only USB driver as provided by the hardware vendor. In other words, you can't just plug a device into any OS and start programing it via a standard USB driver.
Dropbox, Google Photos, Snapseed
NextCloud is probably the best option but prepare to pay for storage. You'll need a NAS with at least two HDDs and personally I would also pay for cold storage to have offsite backups in case something happens to both disks.
I'm going down that route now and at a glance, a 18TB setup will cost me at least $700 (local currency) all in all. ~$400 for the disks and another $300 for the server.

OSX. I miss Ubuntu/Gnome's configurable key bindings so much.
Karabiner elements if you haven't tried. Had so much fun, customising is with just a json file. Most common layouts and some cool ones are already available on their site for download.
Honestly had a much better experience with mac than on linux or win simply bcos of that piece of software. Its mac only sadly.
Looking now it seems to have changed a bunch with more features than when I used it back in 2021. Might not even need to work directly on json files.
