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

Well, the permanently open applications on my system are: claws-mail, Pale Moon (browser forked from Firefox), konqueror (TDE file manager), konsole (TDE terminal), and Aqualung (music player). Other good friends include kate, Inkscape, and OpenSCAD (despite its flakiness). And I get a lot of mileage out of DOSBox.

If the OP hadn't specified desktop software, I'd also name Portage.

Apostrophe. The perfect, slick markdown editor.

Telegram Desktop is pretty good.

Kubernetes, Docker and mpv.

I just use the one built into gnome, it's the best one I've found yet having come from lightshot on windows, it just works exactly how I'd expect it to and doesn't get in my way

As for my favourite think it's gotta be either obsidian or Vscode/ium

Thanks for the recommendation, I installed Flameshot on Windows and it's quite a bit better than the built-in tool.
