Questions to David Rotermund

Why is my hard disk / SSD so full?

WinDirStat and QDirStat will help you answering this question.

Digitale Lehre

OBS : Open Broadcaster Software is a tool for video streaming (e.g. recording and switching between sources)

VoiceMeeter : Not "free" (shows ads) but important companion tool for OBS to mange audio streams

FFmpeg : command line tools for manipulation (inclusive conversion of formats) nearly every aspect of MPEG video files

Octave (replacement for Matlab)

MATLAB Programming/Differences between Octave and MATLAB

LaTex

Overleaf : "The easy to use, online, collaborative LaTeX editor". You can get the premium version (very important if you want to track the changes) for free via IEEE.

TeX Live Collection : It is a collection of tools essential for compiling tex files. I suggest to use the DVD for installation otherwise you will grow very old before installation ends.

TeXnicCenter (Windows) : Latex Editor (that prefers MikTex instead of Tex Live)

Kile (Linux): Latex Editor which is provided by many Linux distributions

Ghostscript : (Not Open Source but... ) PostScript interpreter

Ghostview : Viewer that uses Ghostscript

KLatexFormula : Allows to convert individual equations into pdf, ps, jpg, png...

Editors (for source code and such)

VS Code : Well this is not the open source version but there is one which is called vscodium.

https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/ (Fully Open Source ; Hardcore to learn but religiously defended by its users )

http://midnight-commander.org/ : (Fully Open Source) More then JUST a simple editor!

SSH

FileZilla Client : Not really Open Source but essential tool for transferring files via SSH. One of the few tools that can resume a failed transaction.

MobaXterm (Windows) : (not Open Source but kind of "free") SSH Client with X included

Zotero

(Open Source alternative for managing citations and bib manager)

Interesting online services

DeepL : Online translation

DeepL Write : Online text optimization

Wolfram Alpha : Helps with math and other scientific questions
