Libre office replaces MS Orifice. GIMP replaces Photoshop. MPV Player (VLC available too) replaces windows Media Player. I have 5 internet browsers - Firefox, Palemoon, Librewolf, Basilisk and Icecat. Mail handled by Thunderbird mail. File transfers LFTP (command line) and Filezilla (FTP). Torrenting handled by Transmission (although I use a seed box).
You name it there is normally a solution except for some specialist hardware that may not be supported yet.
Synaptic Package Manager - Handle packages (programs) like a pro who is lazy and wants the power of APT in an awesome GUI with all dependencies easily enumerated. After you get to know your packages this and terminal are the best installers. The "shops" like Kde Plasma store etc are good for pretty pictures of the packages but that is about all they are really good at.

Edit:- Other software of note -
QMMP - Literally WinAmp because modern music players suck. It even uses winamp skins and has a visualizer (ProjectM) that makes milkdrop look positively retro.- https://buyurindir.net/uploads/posts/2019-02/1550426634_qmmp-2.jpg
