Hi guys, I want to expand the sticky "Where to start?" article with a section about switching services and digitial products (or have a post about that?).

Many alternatives where already discussed and I can look them up on the alternatives webpages. But if you want to name alternatives that are underrepresented, feel free to support me here.

(Based on various sharepics) these topics came into my mind, did I miss anything essential?

I feel like SearXNG goes way under-mentioned. It's a meta search engine, basically a search engine aggregator...

mobile Apps

Obtainium should be mentioned more. It's not technically European, as its creator is Canadian, but it's fully open-source. It's an app that helps you manage other open-source apps. I feel like it's a good way to avoid the Google Play Store, if you're looking to use European open-source software.

Passwordmanagers

KeePass is oft mentioned, but KeePassXC is better, IMO. Keepass2Android is the Android equivalent.
