Right, but the problem with FOSS is a that it usually moves slow, typically isn’t very user friendly, and has no real support from devs most of the time.
Krita (for art and what I want to use for learning art, it’s avalible for both Linux and Windows)
Inkscape (for vector making and also can be used as a better text tool than kritas built in text tool if you’re using it in a combined workflow, avalible on Windows and Linux)
Tahoma 2D (fork of OpenToonz, OpenToonz coming from Toonz which Studio Ghibli also uses. Used for 2D animation)
Qbitorrent (torrent application avalible on both Linux and Windows)
Gimp (Image editing program avalible on both Linux and Windows but in my personal opinion needs a UX rework)
This is why FOSS with donation is actually a superior model.
I honestly rather download a free software and donate after I know that it’s good and I’ll know that I’ll always have access to it.
Paying for something that can be revoked (cause it’s a legally license, not owned) just doesn’t sound like ownership.

But also: Blender
It really is a marvel of open source software.

Also openttd and beyond all reason
The best thing is when a private company contributes regularly to FOSS projects moving them along at a timely pace.
Turns out, if it’s a single person in their free time it’s slower. But at least if something isn’t working I can fix it myself.
