For me: Emacs, NetNewsWire, Gimp, Inkscape, Calibre, Firefox, Chrome, occasionally VS Code, very occasionally whatever Audacity is called today. And I’m a Mac user!

  To add to your list: Atril (PDF Viewer), Vokoscreen (Screen recorder), Transmission (Torrent CLient), Simple Scan (Scanner Tool), LibreOffice, Keepassxc, Thunderbird, Element Desktop, Dino, Handbrake, Beets (Music Collection Tagger/Manager), VLC, Kodi, Rhythmbox (Music Player), Syncthing If I look at my phone, it's possible that I have more apps installed via F-Droid than through Google Play
