8. Programs: Alternatives for common Windows programs

I will be brief. If you are interested then consider checking what they do on youtube.
They are the things that I use. I am biased. Do research on your own if you want programs better than mine.

Format will be as follows:
FUNCTION - Linux alternative (comment)

All these programs that I list are fully open source. You can compile it yourself.

EXIF CLEANING - mat2 (even better than Windows, tiny size, integrated into right mouse button actions)
GRAPHICS - GIMP (it got a huge rework recently and it is extremely good now)
VIRTUAL MACHINES - KVM + QEMU + Virt-Manager
BASIC VIDEO ALTERING - Handbrake
SCREENSHOTS - Spectacle (infinitely better than Windows tools for screenshots)
SCREEN RECORDING - Spectacle (really it is insanely good, look it up, even Nvidia does not have recording this cool)
IMAGE VIEWING - Gwenview (you can view and alter pictures; cropping, rotating, resizing, flipping etc. all instant, look it up I love it)
MOVIE/MUSIC PLAYER - Haruna (I like Haruna, I did not do much research but I tried it and liked it)
PDF VIEWER - please use your browser (every browser can do it, do not install pointless programs)
ALTERNATIVE KEYBOARDS - Fcitx5 + Mozc (I use it for Japanese input, infinitely better, easier, and more configurable than Windows, please look it up)
EMULATION/GAMES - Lutris (Lutris can be hard at first, but it can emulte everything imaginable and it is friendly for retards, nothing on Windows can do that)
PACKET CAPTURE - Wireshark (Golden standard I guess? I don't use it much, someone smarter than me decide!)
MINECRAFT LAUNCHER - atlauncher (I liek blocks! It is the ultimate launcher, please look it up)
PASSWORD MANAGER - keepassxc (lovely)
EMAIL CLIENT - Betterbird (Thunderbird without Mozilla, pure, neat)
GPG - Kleopatra (GUI for GPG that I use)
TORRENTING CLIENT - qBittorent (the best that I know of)
ENCRYPTION - Luks

COMMUNICATION 1 - Simplexchat (Simple, easy, well encrypted, everything is TOR routed, decentralized, no identity, p2p, disposable and casual - a criminal's heaven!!! Signal or even Session can't compare)
COMMUNICATION 2 - XMPP (or rather an XMPP client of your choice - "modern IRC", simple, old, stable, a protocol)
COMMUNICATION 3 - Matrix (or rather a Matrix client of your choice - they are akin to dicksword but they are cool! You can set up your own servers, networks, anything, a protocol)

You can ask AI for a program substitute, it knows better than me.
