What Linux "Productivity" (ideally FOSS) tools do you use? (lemmy.ml)

I'm in a bit of a productivity rut and whilst I suspect the issue is mainly between the keyboard and chair I'm also interested in what (FOSS) tools there are that people find effective.

One of my issues at the moment is cross managing different workstreams particularly with personal projects which are more in the "if I have time category".

I'm interested in anything that helps manage time or limit distractions or anything that makes it easier to keep track of progress/next steps for project when there may be a bit of a time gap between.

Many have already mentioned Obsidian, I too ventured to it from Joplin and couldn't be happier.

Other (FOSS) tools I use for productivity... GUI tools:

  • nocodb - a web-based database which can be accessed over API too
  • I'm keeping an eye on vikunja.io, hope to have it mature and implement more features regarding project management
  • paperless-ngx, make order of your paper-mess.

CLI tools:

  • Fish - a very nice and modern shell
  • chezmoi - a really nice dotfile manager
  • lsd instead of ls, dust instead of du, zoxide instead of cd
  • kopia - awesome backup tool. How backup is related to productivity? Disaster recovery ;-)

    Useful suggestions, thank you!

    I'm going to try some of the more FOSS options (I'm on Joplin at the moment) first but if they don't work out I'm going to give Obsidian a try.
