KiCAD for 10 years now. Leaps and bounds better than then!
Steam 15 years or so
VLC since windows XP
Firefox since then also
Arduino for quick things for 12 years about
Discord since 2016 (and now looking to change)
Factorio
Plex+Sonarr+Radarr. Netflix raising subscription rates again? Yarrr, not my concern. Studios locking away their content behind exclusivity agreements? Yarrr. “This program is not available in your country”? YARRR!
Yup. Got my lifetime PlexPass on sale like a decade ago, and it has easily paid for itself a hundred times over. I also run Jellyfin because I prefer the UI, but the security vulnerabilities (and lack of a native TV app on my mother-in-law’s TV) mean it isn’t really suitable for external access. So it’s Plex for the friends and family, and Jellyfin for me. Luckily, they both happily run side-by-side.
Linux, vim, zfs
I like Paint.NET. It’s easy to use for simple image edits.
WinAMP
mIRC (or for you guys, any IRC client). Not as vibrent as in the old days and some missing functions in comparison to modern clients such as Discord and many more.
the crazy thing is, ircv3 is being worked on. might already have been released. don’t care enough to look. for a dying medium!
Krita (a digital painting and Photoshop alternative). I’ve been enjoying using it for probably 10 years now, and it’s only continued to steadily improve. Fantastic program.
WINAMP WINAMP WINAMP
It really whips the llama’s ass
KDE.
It’s the only one I have used more than 10 years and loved the entire time. Everything else has been replaced, not loved or not used for 10 years.
Kind of niche but Guitar Pro. Not sure what the newer versions are like but the one I have is great for composing and arrangement.
Been using the same copy of GP6 through Wine for years. Right there with ya.
Age of Empires 1 is old enough, but does one “use” it?
It’s got a unique co-op feature where you actally control the same people and can divide tasks (not like other RTS where you can play in a team but still need to do everything yourself, with any resource sharing being a manual (or even taxed) action in a menu somewhere), so my gf and I are sticking with this game. I think it’s the only game we’ve been playing consistently for our 10 years together. Crap, did I say playing? I meant using! It’s a relationship tool. Try it today! xD
I think StarCraft has Archon mode that functions the same way. Another tool in the toolbox.
Zsnes
Also Winrar
termux
I don’t think any software I regularly used has changed since 2016( lemmy being an obvious exception. Rip reddit). Maybe home assistant. Not sure when that started. Most used: Obviously gnu+Linux+gnome. Gimp, beersmith, sabnzdb, deluge, plex. Vscode, Firefox. I’m sure many others
