I've used LibreOffice for ages and wouldn't go back to Microsoft. Likewise, I've used Firefox forever. And FileZilla for managing website files on a server.
I started using Paint.net for photo editing during lockdown and really like its simplicity - plus I'm a bit old school and prefer a minimum amount of image manipulation. I started using GIMP a very long time ago (2000-ish) and agree the time spent getting used to it is worth the effort.
Blender is something I've used, but never really needed. I think I might give Inkscape a go.
One of the best pieces of free, open source software is Audacity - a brilliant audio editor. I first used it when I was making digital copies of LPs and cassettes in the early 2000s. It's good for recording and mixing music, although not a true Digital Audio Workstation (DAW) like Logic Pro. I've used Audacity extensively to edit down tracks for use on our WHO Racing videos.
