A list of digital resources that I use (or have used) / Une liste de ressources numériques que j'utilise (ou ai utilisé)

I sometimes get asked for references and tools (free and/or open source oriented) and I decided to compile here the ones I use the most, which I highly recommend for frequent use (so very personal selection).
Considering that this is "work in progress" for the moment, I'm open to any suggestion.
Good reading !

Operating Systems 🐧
Server
Workstation
- Manjaro (with GNOME) : The advantage of Arch Linux's stability with an easier handling, just install to work 🤓
- elementary OS : Based on Ubuntu (without Snap package manager), a distribution that will remind a lot macOS™ without its locks
- Pop! OS : Also based on Ubuntu (and still without Snap), I use it mainly for multimedia
- To watch, the young (but promising) Vanilla OS with a pure GNOME and interesting choices, especially on security
Mobile
- LineageOS : AOSP version of Android™, works perfectly without Google™ products (and with the F-Droid application store)
- postmarketOS : Very interesting and dynamic adaptation of Linux with several possible interfaces including GNOME or Plasma
- Mobian : Mobile adaptation of Debian, slowly but surely progressing …
- Ubuntu Touch : After the withdrawal of Canonical™, UBports and its community have nicely taken over this mobile version of Ubuntu
Others
- ⌚ AsteroidOS : Excellent alternative to Android Wear for connected watches
- 🕹️ Lakka & Recalbox : Linux distributions dedicated to emulation and retrogaming
- 📻 Volumio : Local network jukebox solution, installable on a Raspberry Pi™ board
- 📺 webOS OSE : Project I follow, it's the open source counterpart of the webOS™ bought by LG™
