5.0 is about to drop, maybe you wanted to share that?
As somebody who's Blender curious but not a 3D graphics designer (I have minimal CAD experience, that's about it), I'd like to know what makes 5.0 special. The release notes are too technical and granular for me.
Modern GNU Emacs feels like a wondrous relic transported back in time from an alternate future, from a world where LISP Machines won.
FFMPEG and VLC are pretty marvelous in terms of the huge array of quirks their implementations have to cover, and how comprehensive they are in covering their core functions.
OpenSSH is doubtless one of the most useful and stable computer programs of all time, as well.
QEMU is widely regarded as an incredible achievement, too, and it's also quite useful for lots of purposes.
WINE is pretty incredible, as are various emulators for old consoles, especially the more recent 3D ones.
The world is rich with pretty amazing free software. But I think it's absolutely fair to rank Linux and Blender near the top.
