WARNING: There are a lot of recommendations here that are very out of sync with hacker(news) ethos.
Does that mean you should ignore them? No. But as I read through the preferences on a lot of options, they are seemingly haphazard takes. For example, I'm seeing people saying facebook messenger is the best text chat client and MS Teams is the best video chat? These are among the worst options out there (even setting aside ethos, they're bug-ridden!).
Just be careful, I think many recommendations in this particular thread are limited in perspective.
edit: i wrote this because hackernews tends to be a "ground truth" for a lot of people when they are trying to form their own opinions on geeky stuff
