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.

For me, it's hands down Flameshot. The best screenshot tool in the world - I've got it hooked up to my PrtScrn key for super easy screenshots.

I also love Kwrite as a Notepad++ alternative, and KolourPaint as a MSPaint alternative

Alacritty, neovim, qutebrowser here. :) Gotta mention tmux too. And I guess if we're going lower level: OpenSSH & Qtile (Tiling Window Manager)

I tried to like qutebrowser so much, but the lack of a good adblock really killed it for me. I’ve been using Vimium and firefox to try and get something similar and it mostly works okay

Between Adguard Home in my router and the built-in block list, I find that I don't see many ads

Glad it works for you! I was really hoping you’d come back with some kind of “there’s better support for that now” haha
