QuodLibet: I'm waiting for Amarok 3 to be ported but right now this is the best music collector/player in my experience.

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 like to pack services in containers so ctop has been a great basic ui to manage and monitor them in the shell
I use XSane and TheGimp to scan and edit my paintings, Firefox with privacy extensions to browse, VLC to play videos, Gnome Mahjongg to waste time playing. I used to use Resolve to edit videos, I'll soon start using Kdenlive. As a visual artist I have a thing for film emulation that Kdenlive can't do, but it's something I'll have to leave behind.

My nixpkgs list is something like
- Firefox
- Vim
- WezTerm
- Fzf
- Zoxide
- Starship
- Copyq
- mpv
- Obsidian
- Chromium
- Xbindkeys
- Xte
I also use Floorp! Firefox is my favourite mobile browser, with the address bar at the bottom for easy access, and also easy-access, reliable tab sync, with Floorp on the desktop for its workspaces feature + the ability to use the old Firefox style (with minimal tabs) with a simple toggle.
The only browser that could measure up to it (meaning it has the same feature set for both desktop and mobile) is Vivaldi (Correction: Last time I used it, Vivaldi was missing a crucial feature: the ability to only show bookmarks on a new tab) but that often feels too complicated and takes too long to set up. If Vivaldi had the ability to, say, sync up all your settings and customisations, as well as tabs, I'd probably be using it right now, or at least consider it. I mean, neither is fully open source, but I'm more likely to trust the Vivaldi team than Ablaze (the company behind Floorp).
I agree with pretty much everything you’ve said. My biggest reason for not using Vivaldi is due to it being based on chromium. I’m trying to do my best to reduce the market share of chromium based browsers

- sshfs. I use it for everything.
- autossh
- git. It always annoys me how Debian doesn't come with it out of the box. Gets me every time I set up a new server.
- Signal desktop app.
OpenBSD user, in no particular order, definitely missing some stuff: pdksh (OpenBSD) or oksh (Linux/MacOS), su, unix/posix utils (man (most important), find (second most important), apropos, awk, grep, df, du, dd, ed, etc), mg, openssh, got, heirloom-doctools/troff, bc-gh (bc calculator with a bunch of extensions), xclip, xdotool, xeyes (very important), yt-dlp (youtube-dl seems dead these days), some C compiler (clang/gcc), httpd, opensmtp, ffmpeg, libressl/openssl, pf, tmux (I prefer to use my window manager, but if I'm in tty or need to retain a shell session, tmux is useful), ping, ifconfig, traceroute, netstat, nc/netcat, unwind (or other dns server like unbound)
Localsend, distrobox+podman and ublock origin just to name a few
Firefox. Syncthing. KeepassXC. (g)vim. ssh. git. htop. less.
- Nvim with lazy-nvim
- Emacs (org mode)
- Krita
- Strawberry Music (can organize and transcode music)
- Easy Effects (for poorly balanced YouTube videos or voice chat)
- Calibre
- YARG (I like plastic guitar)
I really like Lunatask. It's a task/habit management app kind of like Todoist, but it works better for me personally. The premium version is quite expensive, but the free one is quite okay to work with. And it's still in development so a lot of features are missing (you can't set a time for a task for example which I find ridiculous).
Also Ghostwriter, it's a really nice minimalistic markdown editor. I wish it was a bit more customizable but I guess I could try emacs for that.
A lot of good stuff here. The three things that are most notable for me are:
Notepadqq
Fsearch
Librewolf

Profanity & Dino are nice chat clients
I discovered warpinator recently, useful for transferring files to my android phone.
Have you tried LocalSend? It's worked great for sending stuff to and from my phone and PC

Emacs is the only app you'll ever need once you've mastered it.
Is it even possible to master emacs?
