+1 for this article. Thanks for sharing.
My favorite open source alternative is Newpipe to replace the regular youtube android app
Chrome -> Brave ref link | non-ref
Team Chat Platforms (Discord, Slack) -> Riot.im (Matrix), Rocket.chat, keybase
File sharing -> Firefox Send
File Sync -> Syncthing (already mentioned in here), SparkleShare, git-annex
Password Manager -> Lesspass
Note taking -> Standard Notes, Joplin, Paperwork
Collaborative editing (Google Doc) -> Etherpad
Medium -> Ghost
Forum software -> Discourse
Project management -> taiga.io
I like to think of the proprietary options as alternatives :P
Also, there's software that exists which is both proprietary and open source, so I think that distinction is a little confusing here (e.g. getkirby.com/license)
I think that Taiga is a good alternative for Trello and maybe also for Jira.
blender is not a game engine now. :)
That's why it is a bonus ^ ^

Let's add it to the list ;)
Gitea is great
I totally agree it's a great self-hosted git server.
The Free Software Foundation has a huge directory of software that complies with their definition of free. This collection in particular might be useful! It was made in response to the report on the US's PRISM program. There you will find alternative software for eedia publishing, remote storage, instant messaging, and more.
Do check out their other collections based on use or compatibility with certain file formats!
Thanks that's exactly what I was searching for :)
Postman
Postwoman

Thank you! I didn't know many of them. I'll add Bitwarden to the list too, and recently I started to use protonmail instead of gmail
You're welcome ;)
Protonmail is a good option
