Kasts for podcasts, since it sync with Gpoddersync on my nextcloud.
Spectacle always makes me smile with how easy and featureful it is for a screenshot app.
Okular is a better PDF viewer than any proprietary app I've used.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I literally live inside the combo of
- #Firefox
- #Evolution
- #Emacs
- #Alacritty
- #GIMP
And very rarely leave the comfort of my cozy habitat 😁
At work, I'm "forced" to use a Mac but thanks to #FOSS I've got the whole combo setup on my work laptop too except Evolution sadly.

I'd say the terminal, although its not linux exclusive and kind of a cheat answer. Flameshot is also a staple for me, I use it everywhere.
MPV comes to mind, although its also available in windows.
Perhaps a controversial opinion, but I quite like Mailspring as a desktop email client. It looks and feels much more modern than Thunderbird or Evolution.

Does Hyprland count? It's so effortlessly slick
Easy Effects is such a great program. Very good for doing all sorts of effects on audio. Great for filters and EQ.

- Newsboat Lightweight, custom rich, with very cool look on terminal.
- Doom Emacs Very hard to use. But once you got it, nothin can beat its multi-function note!
- Freeplane Must have software to mapping everything you want perfectly and very lightweight brain-mapping.
I guess it's probably also available for servers but the most innovative and interesting peace of software I used in years is Distrobox, I like the AUR and love Debian and Fedora so that's a bridge I have been waiting for!

The Caja file manager. Hell the MATE desktop environment in general is just perfect for me. Xfce is acceptable too, though the inclusion of CSD in recent Xfce releases has made me a bit more wary of it when it comes to theming.
I also use Waterfox as my browser. A Firefox fork that has the option to put tabs below address bar (where they belong imo) out of the box without needing to muck around with the userChrome.css file.
Reaper, OBS, and Davinci Resolve.
Micro. It's a terminal text/code editor that shares keybindings with modern text editors.
I can't decide which one is my favourite. But thanks for the tipp, flameshot seems really amazing!
Neovim.
Carla and QJackCTL for me. So much easier than having to haul around all my amps, pedals, etc.
- Firefox
- Jellyfin
- (when I get it to work) KDE connect
- krita
- aMule
- riced xfce
- riced kde plasma
Whenever I use gnome I install the material-shell extension. I love the tiling.
Definitely the clipboard manager. On kde, it's klipper. This is actually such an underrated piece of software that I can't live without. Windows has one too, but they added their's a little after all the linux desktop environments got one by default.
Bottles. Makes getting stuff working on WINE 10x easier.
Nothing Linux only but:
- Firefox
- OnlyOffice
- mpv
- DoubleCommander
Pinta. It's like paint.net but works on Linux. Quick and simple way to edit images on Linux.
-
Blender for 3D modeling/sculpting + rendering.
-
ArmorPaint for painting on 3D Models, but I learned recently about 3DCoat, and it has a Linux version…

I like listening to Podcasts (while I work on my PC) with KDE's “Kasts”. Use my Nextcloud provider to sync my listening status on the Desktop with my Android Podcast App (AntennaPod) for a flawless continuation on mobile.
Zathura, Firefox, VS Code, Remmina, Virt-Manager, hexchat, drawing, Master PDF, PlayOnLinux+Wine, LibreOffice, GVIm, Pragha, XFCE Terminal (But font broken in Fedora)
