I want to know what kind of apps/programs y'all recommend to people or just use personally. This is just in general, could be anything from a game to a media codec. I personally use Linux but stuff for other operating systems is welcome too.

Snagit, it's like Windows snipping tool on steroids. I was introduced to it at work and loved it so much I bought a license for my personal computer.

I'm also a huge fan of Dashlane for managing my passwords. It's one of the pricier options, but it works so much better than everything else I've tried (and has a nicer UI, too)

rethink is quite good firewall for phone, it lets you actually control programs internet connections and see where they try to connect. doesnt need root.

Will put a disclaimer here that it's not going to be for everyone but I use emacs for pretty much everything.

It's a competent code editor with a lot of plugins similar to vscode. It has email, web browsing and IRC built-in out of the box. One of the best of the bundled packages is org-mode which is a fully featured note taking application that can export to HTML and latex. Then there are a wide ecosystem of packages like music players (emms) and visual git interfaces (magit) you can install too. It can even work as a WM!

Before we get into a text editor holy war I still use vim for quick edits.
