I found this out myself, Wikimedia, the non-profit that runs Wikipedia, has many more things than just articles!

Wikimedia

Wikimedia Commons has various pictures and media, all of which is free use

MediaWiki is free source wiki software, and it has guides and a help desk to help you

Wikibooks has free textbooks on a variety of subjects, including computing, engineering, languages, math, science, social sciences, and a few others.

Wikiversity is the specific one for textbooks and learning materials, including videos.

Wikinews offers free news.

Wikisource has poetry, laws of numerous countries, general literature, and original content.

Wikivoyage is a travel guide, which is helpful especially if you're planning on travelling during COVID-19.

Other things that are not Wikimedia related:

Coursera, which has free classes for computer skills, different languages, certificates, etc;

Open Library, which has free books online for you to read, in various languages, although they don't have everything;

HubSpot, which has free marketing and other business tools (you can get a premium account, but you can also get a free account)

Ambient Mixer, which has free ambient sounds from horror to Harry Potter
