FOSS or otherwise
Newpipe, will kms when yt blocks APIs, or switch to bilibili and not understand anything
PieDock
Gvim. I even write documents in it and then paste them into Word for final formatting.
Notepad++
I thought so too, yet here I am on arch linux now.
I guess I could run it under wine or something if I really needed it.
There is notepadqq, if I remember correctly.
I feel like the text editors we get by default do all the things I ever wanted notepad++ for anyway.
There’s still something nice about np++ though, sure it might be unnecessary on Linux but it just feels familiar and reliable
wwe.start.me launcher page. I have all my links on all devices in the same place. My first step when i install a browser.
Never heard of that, does it work offline? I’ve been using TiddlyWiki on a cloud drive as a bookmark homepage.
No offline, he typoed the url btw. I use it because I’m old and miss the old web portal days like igoogle before they ditched it. I made my own page that simulates an igoogle-like web portal, very customizable except you can’t, for some really strange reason, click the header of an RSS feed to get to that page’s home.
Would be sorta meh for me, except I made a sub-page with only 1 column that makes the best start page for a phone I’ve ever seen, because I made it myself with stuff I want to see all at once when I start my phone browser. That 1 feature makes it worthwhile.

My first thought is that my work requires office365 mail and my discovery that davmail exists has been a godsend. I’m not going to install outlook on my linux pc, so being able to check those emails using any client (claws in my case) is a massive convenience upgrade from relying on firefox to login.
I think vim (and other text editors with vim bindings). I’ve gotten so accustomed to the vim way of doing things that I can’t go back
Python, Jupyter, Freetube
We used Jupyter Notebook in school, we’d have assignments where each again was broken out by block and then we’d have to solve it. I don’t see much of a use outside of an education setting
What is your use from it?
Jupyter is great for data analysis.
I’m a data scientist, so I use it daily for machine learning tasks. Value imputation, model training, ad hoc analytics, and s lot more
photoshop. i’ve used it pretty much daily for 30+ years.
it’s my magic wand, and there’s just nothing quite like it.
Unfortunately, Excel. It’s the lingua franca of the business world. Absolute shyte program.
Firefox, uBlock Origin, uBlacklist KDE, Dolphin, Kate, LibreOffice, CherryTree Kid3, Flacon, LosslesCut, qBittorrent, VLC Musicolet, Simplenote, F-Droid, AuroraStore
I agree with everything and also with Musicolet, like no other mp3 player felt right until this one, it has everything I like, I listen to downloaded audio books, and can effortlessly change audio speed and pitch, sleep timers, and folder directories.
On windows it’s grepWin - it is an excellent utility implementation.
Shove-it, an ancient Windows utility by Phord Software that shoves any half-offscreen windows back onto the monitor so that you can get to all the gadgets. Phenomenally useful. First thing I install on any new build.
