    Reddit --> Lemmy

    Facebook --> fucking nothing lmao

    YouTube --> FreeTube + Invidious [1]

    Windows --> Debian [2] with KDE Plasma

    Word --> LyX

    Microsoft Office --> LibreOffice

    Built-in phone music player --> Odyssey [3]

    Firefox --> LibreWolf [4]

    Adobe Reader --> Okular + Librera on Android

    Default phone launcher --> KISS Launcher

    [1] I prefer FreeTube on computers where I have it installed, but one of my family’s jank 10-year-old work PCs can’t handle it, so I’ll typically watch videos in Invidious in LibreWolf on that computer.

    [2] I can’t recommend Debian for absolutely everyone since it prioritizes stability and predictability over new features and ease of use, but it’s great for most of my use cases. I typically recommend Linux Mint for complete beginners.

    [3] It handles extremely large music libraries (>100 GB of .mp3 files) without constantly taking forever to reload when I add a single new album.

    [4] Firefox is pretty good and FOSS, but LibreWolf comes with better defaults and I’m a lazy fucker.
