If you're looking for an Office replacement, but don't like the interface for LibreOffice, OnlyOffice is a pretty decent substitute! It too is open source (libre too it looks like, every repository I see says AGPL)
VLC Media Player can take just about any video or audio format you can throw at it, better than even its proprietary counterparts.
OpenShot Video Editor is a pretty straightforward tool to cut videos and add some simple effects. There are more complex free video editors out there, but this is all I've needed to date.
LibreOffice, like everyone has already mentioned. Writer is analogous to Word, Impress is comparable to Powerpoint, and Calc is similar to Excel. You can probably set all these up to save to Microsoft formats by default, if you're worried about interoperability. There's also Draw, which seems similar to Publisher from the little bit I've used the latter, and Base seems like the kind of thing you don't run directly, but it's used for formatting complex mathematical equations.
Notepad++ is an excellent advanced text editor. If you set it to use a monospace font like Courier New, Ubuntu Mono, or Inconsolata, you can make plaintext checklists and other hand-aligned files much more easily with its rectangular multi-line selection via Shift+Alt+Up/Down/Left/Right. It also has the option of regex find and replace, which I've used before to convert plaintext lists into XML and JSON, and back. You can sort lines alphabetically or numerically, convert line break types, and change character encoding, as well.

Obsidian is an extremely powerful WYSIWYG note taking application based on Markdown, LaTeX for math formatting, and internal hyperlinks. You can create a folder with tons of note files in it and then link between those files, and it will let you follow those links, create backreferences and clouds of connected subjects, etc. Basically it can turn your notes into a personal wiki.
