Hello everyone! This is my list of FOSS software I use 😃
Android FOSS alternatives to proprietary apps
Google Board -> FlorisBoard
Google Play -> Aurora Store[1]
Termius -> ConnectBot[2]
Discord -> Element
Xiaomi Fit -> Gadget Bridge[3]
Google Gmail -> K-9 Mail
YouTube -> LibreTube
Google Authenticator -> Mauth
Google News -> Nextcloud News[4]
Google Drive -> Nextcloud[4]
Google Keep -> Nextcloud Notes[4]
Spotify -> SubTune[4]
YouTube Music -> ViMusic
Google Chrome -> Mull
1- You need a Google account.
2 - The UX is not as good as Termius.
3 - The UI looks like garbage, but does it’s job.
4 - You need to selfhost a server.
Android FOSS alternatives to FOSS apps
Jellyfin -> Findroid
F-Droid -> Droid-ify
Desktop FOSS
Windows -> Fedora 38 Workstation
Firefox -> LibreWolf (telemetry free, hardened firefox)
Other software
Android -> Lineage OS
Linux server -> Debian (without GUI)
Smart home -> Home Assistant
SMS -> Signal
DNS -> Adguard Home (selfhosted)
Other services

YouTube (desktop) -> Piped
Suggest me:
- Google Maps
- Shazam
On Android, I use OSMAnd if I want to use a map and the openstreetmap.org web app if just quickly checking a distance, because OSMand can be quite bulky and my phone quite slow. For public transportation (in Germany) I have Öffi.
