This list feel a little dated. On the top of my head I’d add “Visual Studio Code” for programming, Cakewalk for music composition, and Davinci Resolve for video editing.
I love it. It’s surprisingly powerful for a completely free software. Takes bit of time to learn, but well worth it. Unless you just want to stitch clips together, then it might be a bit overkill.
You could use it to shred individual files, but to wipe a disk there are better ways. Generally you would use an ata command or wipe the encryption key if it’s encrypted.
Well, the issue is that it depends on how you set eraser. Just doing a delete on an SSD has the same issue with just doing a delete on an HDD at the OS level for the file recovery. But SSDs don’t really have the same need to overwrite a lot of times. So you could set Eraser to overwrite once with zeros or random values to successfully “shred” a single file.

Extremely dated. It looks like the list of software someone might have recommended back before I started using Reddit a decade ago.

How is it? I’ve been using KDEnlive forever.
Better than premiere, I dare say
A bit steeper of a learning curve than other video editors though, imo

Davinci isn’t free as in FOSS, just free as in beer. Just FYI.
It’s fantastic! You can use it as a simple editor, or you can literally do anything you want.
It’s Adobe Premiere and After Effects combined. For free!
And Visio and OneNote aren’t free. Draw.io and Xournalpp would be potential alternatives.
OneNote is absolutely free. I use it for a lot of things, at home and work.
Edit: I guess, I should say that it doesn’t cost money. It certainly isn’t “free” as in “freedom”, but it’s incredibly handy.
Bitwarden for passwords!
Indeed!
Also, I’d add Bitwarden to password managers
Edit: And AFAIK Eraser should not be used on modern SSDs

But wasn’t Eraser supposed to wear out the SSD without noticeable improvements regards data recovery capability due to the way SSDs work?

Got it, thanks for the explanation!
Alright so not just me, it’s useful but out of date. Some of these are still good, others have been replaced.
