Base-building, tower defense and digging — Lumencraft has it all
Lumencraft is a pretty gorgeous top-down blending of base-building, where you need to set up defensive towers and a whole lot of digging.Liam Dawe (GamingOnLinux)

Great list. Love Nextcloud and Syncthing, dependent on the use case.
What is missing are self-hosted password managers, such as Bitwarden. I prefer the Vaultwarden reimplementation.
