No root lifesaver for android; only allow specified apps (also system processes) to connect to the internet - either constantly or allow when screen is on. A nifty pro feature is dns blocking so you can get rid of the ads in some shitty apps you must use.
Been using it for the better part of a year, and can also say it's super stable

Pretty much the only things I've used in any capacity this year have been 7zip and Gimp.
I haven't even used too much freeware either.
Or really all that many different softwares in general

I really don't understand how Virtual Box can be open-source when it's made by Oracle. Pretty sure that Oracle's philosophy is anti-thesis of open-source software.

Not exactly anti-thesis, but pretty damn close.
Wait Virtual Box is not Open Source? :O I thought it was?
It is, but there are some closed source components to it.

You all forgot arguably the most important of them all, the Linux Kernel itself.

Way too many to list but a noteable one for me, and another more recent one is
GNU Octave - open source version of MATLAB that tries to be MATLAB compatible.
KDE Connect - sync phone (Android/Blackberry with iOS coming) to your Linux OS for notifications, sms replying (not working for me at the momnent), remote control etc. Thanks to @Jeol for showing me this one!
