  • mpd

    Music Player Daemon

    If your goal is to get off Microsoft/Apple's ecosystem you'll need to download all your music and photos from the Cloud anyway. There's easily 40+ decent music programs to choose from. I use mpd, bounce between the various clients depending on my mood and sometimes just use mpc scripts for my music, but I'm weird like that. You can set up a server accessible anywhere.

  • darktable

    darktable is an open source photography workflow application and raw developer

    I don't do a lot of fancy work with photos, but there's darktable, raw therapee and others.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • RawTherapee

    A powerful cross-platform raw photo processing program

    I don't do a lot of fancy work with photos, but there's darktable, raw therapee and others.
