I use alot of software for a bunch of things, because i like creating stuff myself.
For creative work i usually prefer FOSS software, because i dont like the Adobe suit and other paid stuff:
For editing texts/code and notes:
I try to use as much free and big tech independent software as i can, but sometimes it's easier to use something like Davinci Resolve and Obsidian. I would also recommend using Free Software, because often you have a bunch of ads or you need to pay a subscription.
