I have these installed:

Photoshop ) – layouting, photo editing
FL Studio – music creation

Konsole – Terminal emulator, anything that would need Unix commands
Xnview – image viewer + management
Libreoffice – office suite
Spotify - music listening
Steam – for using approximately 1/10th of my Steam library
Crossover – for the potential of using the rest of my Steam library, but not actually using it
ytDownloader – for downloading videos
VLC – for watching videos
Okular – for viewing PDFs
filelight – for checking which folders take up the most space; useful for the pitiful amount of storage space Apple ships with affordable models
Commander One – I just gave this a try as a Finder replacer, but Im not sold on it yet.
Homebrew – a Linux-style package manager /
Cork - a GUI for it
Deskflow – a way of using the same keyboard and mouse on my Macbook and Linux PC
Handbrake – a video transcoder
krita – digital painting

Geforce Now – for using some more of my Steam library (or WOW) if I dont feel installing anything else
Apart from MacOS itself, I dont use Apples built-in software (I like their hardware, I dont like their ecosystem)
