Lemmy seems like the right place to ask this. Personally I've really enjoyed Gurgle, which is a FOSS Wordle clone app.

Libre office, a great office option. I've been using it for 15 years. Foreshadowing

VLC, Plays media. It's a tank. Also Highways use VLC to mark many winter potholes.

Linux, It's not that hard to use anymore.( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

WINE, not just for one night stands! it's great for running Windows Stuff on Linux.

Also, and my personal favorite, your mom is free and open source. Mic Drop going to bed. With your mom. Wasn't expecting that twice were you? Well, neither was your mom. Got 'em.

I was searching for some kind of VLC based image / video processing algorithm to detect potholes
