These are my recommended must-have applications that you should try to use (at least). Sure, tastes differ, but these apps cover most of my needs. I preffer to use FOS application, and I strive to achieve this in every way possible.

## Linux
### GUI
I use Arch BTW!

1. [WPS Office](https://www.wps.com/office/linux/) - a full-featured alternative to Microsoft Office, including word processing, spreadsheets, presentations, PDF conversion and more. For me Libre Office is also good, but sometimes it's not correctly opens some documents, and UI is too old for new generation peoples :)
2. Telegram - a freeware (almost), cross-platform, cloud-based instant messaging, video and audio calling messenger.
3. Sublime Text - a shareware cross-platform source code editor. It natively supports many programming languages and markup languages. As an alternative - Kate.
4. Chromium - (pure) open-source web browser.
5. Obsidian - second brain.
6. Puffin Browser - Chromium based browser. Use cloud server to render pages. Good solution for low end PC and laptop devices. Installation guide for Linux - [GitHub repo](https://github.com/ZhymabekRoman/Puffin-Browser-on-Linux)

### CLI
1. fish - best alternative for bash, sometimes it's unusual but convenient. Not compatible with POSIX syntax. As an alternative I've tried using ZSH with OhMyZSH configs, but for me it's slow.
2. vim - best IDE in the world! My config file - [GitHub repo](https://github.com/ZhymabekRoman/dotconfig). As an alternative I've tried to using NeoVIM, but for me it's not convenient.
2. vim - terminal based IDE. Personal config - [GitHub repo](https://github.com/ZhymabekRoman/dotconfig). As an alternative I've tried to using NeoVIM, but for me it's not convenient.
3. NextDNS - DNS with ad blocker functionality.
4. [WARP](https://developers.cloudflare.com/warp-client/) - mini "VPN" from Cloudflare.
