Wikipedia can also be useful to find software - e.g.:

• https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_vector_graphics_editors
• https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_integrated_development_environments
• https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_audio_player_software

or look at the Wikipedia page for whatever you want to replace and see if it’s in a category such as https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Audio_editing_software_for_Linux

You can even do this with things that aren’t software, e.g. Homebase -> UK home improvement stores -> Screwfix.

The only downside of being in GMT is that programmers here almost never notice their timezone bugs when developing systems in the winter.

Still, avoiding a whole other class of bugs would be nice.

Unix timestamp is always in UTC

Careful with the exact phrasing here - while the epoch was at midnight in GMT, the time from which time_t is measured also exists in other timezones.

there are 24 time zones

Cunningham’s law says that this will generate some discussion in the replies!
