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

I'm not gonna mention the basics like Kate. They're great but nothing new.

My 2 hidden gems that I use on a daily basis are:

  • QOwnNotes for markdown note taking. Only competent desktop app I found that comes without any electron bullshit.
  • Nyrna to send a game to sleep when I want to take a break or get interrupted. Saves me from booting it up again when I want to pick up where I left off.
