Instead of LastPass, use KeePass XC.
Instead of Google Drive, use Syncthing.
Instead of Zoom, use Jitsi.
Instead of Slack, use Riot.

(For most of the rest I don't really have recommendations - I hardly ever edit images, but when I do I use GIMP which is on the list; when I record my screen I use OBS; and for tasks, note taking, todo, "networked notes" etc I use Org-Mode, and Spacemacs for programming, but the latter two have a steep learning curve.)

Maybe you want to try bitwarden. I moved from KeePass and never regret it.

Note how I wrote KeePass XC, not the - completely outdated and old - KeePass ;)

Looks like Bitwarden needs a server... I'm not touching that. I keep my KeePass file synced using Syncthing. No need for yet another online account. Also, I need features like OpenDesktop Secret Service, ssh-askpass support and KeeShare.

If you are worried about a 3rd party having access to your Bitwarden passwords you can setup a locally hosted server. I know it is a bit more work, but this way you are completely in control of your passwords.

Personally I found that Bitwarden works best for me. I do 80% of my work on Linux and Bitwarden I haven't had any issues with it on Linux. So it is a solid replacement for KeePass XC

Again, why should I go through the hassle of setting up and configuring a server software when I can literally have a synchronized single file? Sometimes it seems to me that people are just hellbent these days to shove everything into the cloud or a server, no matter what.
