It seems like the FOSS community is continuing to grow, and FOSS apps keep getting better (Immich reallh blew my mind recently), which is a big win 😎 but there are still many apps I use that I would kill for an open source alternative. I am curious what you guys think? Are there any apps you’d love alternatives for?
I wish there were more Open Source games.
Just wanted to shout out https://osgameclones.com/. It has a pretty decent list of them and source ports.
You may have heard of them, but I love Shattered Pixel Dungeon and unCiv
Recently discovered Veloren, maybe you haven’t heard of it
Veloren is great, there is also Mindustry and Shattered Pixel Dungeon to name a couple of high quality ones.
And Beyond All Reason if you like RTS games.
I wish we had an opensource game store to sell or donate to opensource games.

Looks like Endless Sky is under GPL license, so definitely FOSS

Regardless, it is well worth your time. Find the wormhole, steal alien tech, build a fleet, become invincible.
Naev is another good one. I made a post a few weeks ago on one of the ask Lemmy communities asking about favourite open source games. Lots of good stuff came out of that post. Here’s a link to it for your instance https://lemmy.world/post/13444739

There was a post recently about people’s favourite open source games and it’s been a nice repository of games for me :)
