What apps would you love to have open-source alternatives for? (lemmy.world)

It seems like the FOSS community is continuing to grow, and FOSS apps keep getting better (Immich reallh blew my mind recently), which is a big win 😎 but there are still many apps I use that I would kill for an open source alternative. I am curious what you guys think? Are there any apps you'd love alternatives for?

I wish there were more Open Source games.

Just wanted to shout out https://osgameclones.com/. It has a pretty decent list of them and source ports.

Perhaps not Foss, but definitely free (beer) , endless sky, available on steam

I really liked how Id used to release their old engines as open source, but of course once they got bought out all that stopped. The biggest problem for OSS games is with assets though. There are a few decent open source engines now for a lot of types of games, but it's a lot harder to find decent looking assets to make games. I wonder if stuff like stable diffusion might help with that going forward.
