It seems like the FOSS community is continuing to grow, and FOSS apps keep getting better (Immich reallh blew my mind recently), which is a big win ๐Ÿ˜Ž but there are still many apps I use that I would kill for an open source alternative. I am curious what you guys think? Are there any apps you'd love alternatives for?

Have you tried Thunderbird after version 115? Also, what's so special about Exchange? It's just another (proprietary) email server, isn't it? Couldn't you just use Dovecot?

Ill respond to the loaded question with my own. If you have worked in an enterprise environment you would know the answer.

Calendaring is so far from capable. Room and resource management to.

The company I work at lets everyone choose between Roundcube (webmail) or Thunderbird as a native client. We don't have Outlook or Lotus Notes anymore (thankfully, because Notes is such a terrible piece of shit, it's unbelievable). I don't know what they use for their email server, but it's definitely not Exchange.
