What Linux programs do you use that also have versions for other OSes like Windows or Mac? Post some favourites or all. And mention what type of program it is. These lists could be useful information for both Linux explorers and experienced users. Linux beginners can use what they know to start in Linux and experienced users alternating between OSes are more efficient. I'll start.

Brave - web browser
Firefox - web browser (I use this for troubleshooting)
Discord - text, video and voice chat
SpiderOak One Backup - cloud backup (paid)
Tuta Mail - encrypted cloud email
Spotify - music streaming
VLC Player - playing videos
Mullvad - VPN client
LibreOffice - office suite
Bitwarden - password manager
Veracrypt - drive or data encryption

Growing up from childhood and becoming an adult is highly overrated.

I only use Linux as an OS, so I don't pay attention to what Linux programs that I use, that may also run under other OS's. :-)

You are such a purist Bill. I bet you have a Tux tattoo somewhere on your body.

We try to use the same software in Windows (mine) as well as Linux (Marilyn).

VLC for movies and music. It plays almost anything.
Firefox
Thunderbird
LibreOffice
qBittorrent
FBReader on Win10 and Android tablets

That's probably it.

I hadn't hurt of FBReader. Is that an ebook reader?

I didn't know that qBitTorrent was available for more than one OS.

Thanks for sharing.
