I love Kamoot much better for exploring and doesn't create try hards trying to beat their PB's in a kids park

Too bad it's not free...

I know, it's still a single-digit percentage of the market share, but I wish GOG would finally give us an official GOG Galaxy version for Linux. Yes, I can integrate my GOG account with Lutris, which is fine, I guess, but steam manages to grab my fickle attention with their app easily, including tempting me to waste money on DRM-proteced game licenses where the games aren't even owned by me ๐Ÿ˜ž

So far, Valve hasn't abused that, and they have been amazing for Linux gaming, but it does not feel great, knowing the fundamentals there are what they are.

Coming from an european. For software, use FOSS if you can.

Komoot was bought a month ago by a company wellknown for buying tech companies like Evernote and Wetransfer, then downsizing them and making them worse.

An alternative to Komoot is Wikiloc, based in Spain.

Ans like others have said, Bookwyrm for tracking of reading books should be recommended

OSMand is the best, it's FLOSS and the foundation that publishes it is UK-based. It also needs no cloud services and no internet access once you download the maps, which are freely available public data.

I like OSMAnd, and want to love it, but its public transport route finding is still very flakey for me, irritatingly.
