Trying to discover new/unheard apps.
- LibreWolf as my browser (it’s a more secure and private version of Firefox, comes with a pre-installed adblocker and removes all the unnecessary junk) (Flatpak)
- Thunderbird for emails (Flatpak)
- Proton Mail Bridge (Flatpak)
- Merkuro Calendar
- Ptyxis (Flatpak) as my terminal. It’s optimized for containers (e.g. distrobox). foot is a pretty good alternative if you want something more minimalistic and don’t care about containers. There are countless other good options like Kitty, Alacritty, Konsole, WezTerm and many others.
- Emacs as my IDE
- KWrite, Kate or NotepadQQ for quickly editing text documents. There’s also Apostrophe for GNOME.
- Akregator as my RSS client (Newsflash for GNOME)
- Strawberry as my music player (Amberol or Rhythmbox if you’re on GNOME)
- Spot for Spotify (Flatpak)
- mpv as my video player (Celluloid on GNOME)
- FreeTube for watching YouTube videos
- This modded YouTube Music client that has an adblocker and many other cool features: https://th-ch.github.io/youtube-music/
- Kasts for listening to podcasts (also has the ability to sync with gpodder.net or self-hosted GPodder on Nextcloud)
- LibreOffice (Flatpak) There’s also OnlyOffice.
- Skanpage for scanning documents

- Element (or NeoChat if you use KDE) for Matrix
- WebCord for Discord
- Konversation or HexChat for IRC (Polari on GNOME)
- Tokodon as my Mastodon client
- qBittorrent for downloading torrent content. (You can use KTorrent on KDE and Fragments on GNOME)
- Gradience to customize GTK4 appearance
- Bitwarden for syncing my password database with my self-hosted Vaultwarden server (also works with their public cloud syncing option). Use KeePassXC if you prefer something entirely local.
- LocalSend for sharing files on the local network (basically works like Airdrop) (also works over NetBird or Tailscale btw)
- NetBird for creating a flat VPN network between my devices
- KDE Connect for better integration with my phone. Also works over NetBird btw. Check out GSConnect if you’re on GNOME.
If you like gaming:

- irssi
- weechat and weechat-matrix
- neovim
- I recently discovered this app called twitch-tui, it allows you to use the twitch chat from the terminal
All the apps I listed are free and open source
Brilliant list! Starred this to go through it in detail later.
EDIT: A good deal of overlap with me on the type of applications I already use, so looking forward to discovering other hidden gems I haven’t yet found.
Abaddon is light weight gtk discord app. Also has voice support.
Added it to the list.
I also like lutris. But it being “for games” doesn’t do it justice I think. It is basically just a wine environment manager. It advertises as being for games but it should work with just about any windows executable.
Amazing list, thanks for sharing.
This is fantastic! Thank you for taking the time to write all that down.
https://www.byobu.org/ can eschew both screen and tmux Mosh (the mobile SSH client, not linking here) if installing it on the remote server is an option
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)
BleachBit is a must have and PhotoGIMP is pretty neat.
An web browser. 99 percent of my mobile activities are done in Firefox. I have Organic Maps for routing, a local mobile payment app and a local sharing electric sooter app.
This is pretty much all apps I use.
I think that the question is primarily about Desktop Apps, since this is the Linux community.
Mmmh. To me apps are the things installed on a smartphone. The things I install on a computer I call programs.
But the same applies there for me, too. I basically do everything in the browser.
oxipng, pngquant and svgcleaner for optimizing images
auto-editor for removing silent portions from video recordings
I prefer Scour for SVGs, but as long as we can agree that svgo is trash, we can be friends.
A good kit IMO, in order of priority:
- Cherrytree; nominally for making hierarchical lists but you can basically use it as a wiki for your entire life. You can theme it yourself too, if you think it looks too retro out of the box.
- Syncthing, for keeping files synced between devices without having to use a server.
- Qbittorrent, for getting files you need. Remember to install search plugins.
- KeepassXC. Password manager (local, not on a server, use in combination with Syncthing).
- Convertall, for unit conversions.
- Calibre, for managing an ebook library, converting formats, removing DRM, transferring to ereader etc.
- Rhythmbox, for music library, podcasts, internet radio.
- Shotwell, for photo and video library. Easy to use, supports tags (metadata written to image files).
- GIMP, for image manipulation. It’s extremely versatile, comprehensive and versatile. 3.0 is due out soon and will include non-destructive layer effects. Heavyweight piece of software, so expect a learning curve.
- Ardour, for music production. Heavyweight, steep learning curve.
- Flowblade for video production. Lightweight, easy to learn.
- Libreoffice, desktop publishing.
- Librewolf; privacy-focussed web browser.
- Thunderbird; highly organisable email client.
- Freetube, for watching youtube videos without all the ads and tracking. Local subscriptions and playlists, which you can export to use with Newpipe on Android. Also lets you download video and audio.
If you like the terminal also add:
- ranger; file manager
- newsboat; RSS feed reader
- yt-dl; download videos from youtube and many other sites ;)
- w3m; command line web browser. I like to use this in combination with newsboat.
Enjoy!
I would suggest yazi in place of ranger. Both are good, yazi just feels faster and has more features.
- AppImageLauncher
- Freetube
- Ondsel
- Nextcloud
Logseq.
What is Logseq?
It’s a non-linear note taking app that allows smart linking and is made as a second brain.
It makes use of the Zettelkasten system, where, in theory, you make notes of everything and categorize it. Over time, you offload your brain and make it free for more productive stuff.
Logseq is often considered as a FOSS alternative to Obsidian.
I love logseq!!!
I tried it and really wanted to like it, but the Android client’s UI is just unusable for me. as much as I prefer going FOSS whenever I can, I tried Obsidian and stuck with it. it’s electron on desktop and definitely not native UI on mobile, but feels much more polished.
Yeah, the Android app is horrible. I only use it if I don’t have my PC in arm’s reach.
It feels sluggish, buggy, is overloaded, I always get sync issues (usually the last words I just typed go missing), and some features (especially the graph overview) don’t work at all sometimes. And the whole app sometimes feels like an alpha version, which is just a no-go…
I really hope the mobile app gets polished more over the next months. Many people nowadays mostly use mobile devices, and having such an unpolished app really hurts the image. And, PLEASE devs, test your software before shipping it out. Especially the mobile app is broken half the time.
I still gladly pay the 5$/ month for the optional sync and to support the devs.
I was never able to fully get into Logseq, might give it another try at some point.
Do it!
I had some initial problems in the beginning, because I was used to linear note taking apps like OneNote or Joplin, but once I watched a guide on how it works, it clicked and now it’s my second nature. I even began to write my hand written notes in Logseq style!
TL;DR, if you don’t wanna watch any guides/ read docs:
- Indentation matters. Logseq works with a parent-child hierarchy
- You usually don’t open or create new pages, you write everything in your journal and link stuff there.
- Use links, either with
[[Link]]or#Tag, which are the same. They crosslink different topics and reveal connections. - Make use of plugins. There are thousands of it. Especially the Graph Analysis plugin should be included by default.
I used Obsidian extensively at a previous job. The linking of notes was super helpful! I don’t think it’ll work as well for my needs at the moment (at work) but I’ll give it a go
What do you do at your job? As long as you don’t work at an assembly belt in a factory, you will still probably get benefits out of it.
Examples:
- Notes about colleagues or customers
- Project ideas
- Random thoughts
- Writing down meetings and mails
- And much more!
Have you tried QOwnNotes? I think it’s pretty good
I have not, I’m using Standard Notes at the moment. I’ll have a look at QOwnNotes though, thanks for the recommendation
QOwnNotes
Thank you for recommending this. I started using Joplin about week or two ago, but this one seems even better for me.
Do you feel like offloading stuff into your notes helps your cognition?
Yeah, definitely, especially at work.
It really helped me to switch off my “work brain”, because I know, that everything I did today is written down, and I don’t have to keep things in my mind anymore after work. Doing that was a blessing for my stress level and mental health.It also gives me the edge above my colleagues that I “remember” everything I did in the last months, which is nice when my boss wants to know details of a project I did a year ago.
I basically can’t even remember what I did 5 minutes ago (ADHD says hello), but I know exactly where I can find that knowledge. This frees up my working memory (psychological term, not related to work) immensely. It’s basically like transfering more tasks onto your hard drive instead of keeping it in the RAM.
It’s also great to give me an graphical overview of all I think and work on all day, and unveals connections I never thought of between different topics.
For private use, it’s also great as a journal, though I gave up on that because I’m too busy for it and it cost too much time in my everyday life. But I still use it daily for normal note taking, e.g. results of some experiments at home, hobbies, thoughts, and much more.
Fuck you I’m sold. That sounds so useful if I can stick with it enough.
That sounds so useful if I can stick with it enough.
That’s my main issue for private use. At my job, I never had problems sticking with the habit of writing everything down. I work in a science job, and documentation is key there. So, I basically get paid for exactly that.
But in my free time, the whole concept of task management, knowledge offloading, and more, is a bit harder for me, especially when I come home tired.
Welcome in the life of someone with ADHD. I need my life to be organized, but have a hard time with exactly that. It’s like needing to find your contact lenses because you dropped them…
All of this makes sense, but I still can’t wrap my head around the “finding” of information. How do you search for it? Do you remember keywords or the location of the note (this I feel like maybe defeats the purpose of Logseq’s write anywhere idea)
I use a mix of
- Search bar, very powerful
- The graph overview, which allows me to “hunt” for the thing I need
- Filters
- And a lot of tags, aliases and crosslinks
I don’t use Logseq, I use Silverbullet, and yes, it helps A LOT. I have lots of random notes on random pages on how to do things at work, or on my personal servers or whatever. You know that feeling of “I’ve already had to deal with this, how the hell did I do it?” It’s completely gone.
If you use a good organization system with a hierarchy that makes sense and tags you can easily find stuff, so you can turn off your brain from having to remember all of that and it can focus on the thing you need to actually solve now. Don’t know if you’re old enough to remember a time before cellphones, we had to remember our friends number, nowadays this is not a concern, because your phone will remember the number for you, it’s like that but for everything, very liberating.
I’m actively looking for a Logseq replacement, since they require CLA singing and can pull the rug at any moment.
We discovered Trilium and will be trying it out to see if we can migrate.
Trillium is great. I’ve been scrolling through here to see if anyone mentioned it, and was gonna put it out there if nobody had.
I haven’t tried it out on android (if that even exists), though.
Well, I just realized they don’t support multi user which is kind of a deal breaker for us, since we are a couple sharing a homelab. We always wanted to share a few files when using Logseq and it seems this won’t be solved with Trilium either. This sucks.
I tried it on desktop but the fact that it’s “paragraph-based” so to say is annoying. I’d like to format text freely and hit return to go to a new line, not create bullet points for everything I write. It seems a bit contrived in this way, but perhaps I just haven’t found how to make it work the way I want yet
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
I get it. For me, that’s just a nice-to-have.
Too bad Floorp is now proprietary.
I’ve been trying to figure out a way to use vanilla Firefox instead but also have a web panel like Floorp. Being able to open and close a webpage on the side like that is pretty handy. Vivaldi has the same feature but I don’t want to use that.
Would it be impractical to open another window and align the window somehow?
For the most part, that works fine. It’s more of a convenience feature since I can quite easily switch between different sites I have saved in the panel.
No way! i thought it was open-source.
Exactly, it was open-source, but then they decided to move some code to the private repos.
Well the list turned out a bit longer than I expected. I guess I’m a needy person on mobile 😅
Metro - music player
Fossify calendar - calendaring
Joplin - notes
Immich - photo management (requires server)
Les pas - photo management that works in conjunction with Nextcloud
Molly - signal client with enhanced security and useability features
Mull - web browser
Cromite - web browser
Aegis - 2fa provider
FUTO Voice - speech to text replacement for google speech services
Heliboard - awesome keyboard
Seal - YouTube downloader
Magic earth - google maps replacement
Thunder - Lemmy clientOn linux?
Whoops, didn’t notice the /c this was posted to 🤦♂️
Hahaha if Aegis was available on Linux I’d switch to it instantly.
I second that. It’s been brutal trying to find a good FOSS 2FA app for desktop.
You could try https://2fas.com/ open source mobile application with browser extensions and cloud sync for backups.
Or www.bitwarden.com password manager is also open source and for a small “premium” supports 2FA for mobile/desktop/browser.
If you’re in the GNOME ecosystem, you could give Authenticator a shot. It’s worked quite well for me so far.
If you’re already using keepassxc, you can import OTP codes and use that. That’s what I do when my phone is not around to use aegis. It’s not as pretty, but it works.
You should try Organic Maps.
A lot of good stuff here. The three things that are most notable for me are:
Notepadqq
Fsearch
Librewolf
I am currently deciding wether to use librewolf or floorp, do you by chance have an opinion on that?
LibreWolf is much better for privacy, it’s specifically optimized for that. It also ships much less bloat by default.
My nixpkgs list is something like
- Firefox
- Vim
- WezTerm
- Fzf
- Zoxide
- Starship
- Copyq
- mpv
- Obsidian
- Chromium
- Xbindkeys
- Xte
There’s no doubt there are a great variety of Linux packages in use.
Recently I did a CD install of Debian 12 (Bookworm) desktop with Gnome, which loads a bunch of stuff over the Net. Here are extra packages that I installed manually. The first set is used by and with an automated configuration script that I wrote, so they have to come in to begin with.

Tor Browser Bundle: Anonymizing Network Browser
This is available from https://dist.torproject.org/torbrowser/ as a tarball. This should be unpacked and the whole tor-browser_en-US directory moved to the ~user folder. This is so that the browser can auto-update at user authority as the need arises.
RetroShare: Secure Communications with Friends
This has its own Debian-compatible repository.
metar: A Package to Parse METAR Coded Weather Reports
~/lab_pip/bin/activate pip install metar --upgradeweeWX: Open source software for backyard weather stations.
From http://weewx.com/docs/debian.htm. Although a Debian package exists, doing any development practically requires that all the code be in user-space, so don’t install the package. Download it instead.
OpenHAB: Home Automation
This has its own Debian-compatible repository.
Ant: GTK3/4 Themes by eliverlara
From https://www.gnome-look.org/browse?cat=135&ord=latest.
This is for claws-mail. It provides better contrast.
The very 1st thing I install post setup is Guake. It’s a Quake style drop down terminal. It’s absolutely indispensable.
If anyone’s interested and using KDE, there’s Yakuake, which is also a Quake-style terminal that fits in nicely with that environment
Although I’m not really terminal-heavy user, I use Yakuake multiple times a day. It’s awesome to have it ready all the time with one on keypress…
Ya Quake-style terminals are super convenient!
I’m also going to push forward Tilda, which has been my preferred one for a while due to how minimal the UI is.
