This is nowhere complete but I will be updating it as time goes by. This thread is meant to be a one stop for free and opensource applications. Not just free and opensource but good quality applications. I hope this help anyone one way or the other. Some of the applications listed are very powerful and even better than commercial counterparts.

I'm a big fan of the Paint.net program. I use it alongside Photoshop all the time, because it has so many cool plugins on the site.
I especially love the Soft Saturation plugin, because it's so much nicer than the regular Saturation tools on any editor program I've ever used.
Thank you for making this! I'll be checking out a few other programs on here, because I do need some of these

Hey Lani, I have used a big deal of the ones on the list, I will be adding more of them through out the week, month, . . . .This is just the beginning of a long list that I expect to make and then keep it steady and/or replaced with better apps.
Im also a big fan of paint .net a lot of stuff is very simple to do with it and the plugins are great, I love the 3D render one.

Would Notepad++ figure on this list somewhere?

I almost included it today. I figured I'll add a category just for editors and include it there along with a few others. I'm a big fan of Notepad++ its simply great.

I am surprised portable apps is not included since quite a few of these have a portable version which can be used on a USB stick.
