@itsfoss Deckmaster. Lets you use the Streamdeck with Linux.
@thelinuxcast @itsfoss Bottles.... FL Studio on Linux means that I still get free lifetime updates and that's a good thing especially because I don't need a Windows PC.
@itsfoss cryptomator to easily crypt and secure a folder on your computer
@itsfoss I don't know how lesser-known it is but czkawka is a wonderful duplicate file scanner!
@biggestsonicfan @itsfoss First time I hear about it. Looks promising. I was using DupeGuru before.
@itsfoss devilspie2 for setting rules for apps. this is one feature of minimal wms that i really wish full on DEs had... or at least i did until i learned about devilspie2

While its not lesser-known, I didn't know about it until a week ago: CoreCtrl. Really helped out with a lot of performance issues I'd been having

@itsfoss

Maybe #Flameshot is the lesser-known life-changing Linux software. What even is better for interactive screenshot capture on #Linux?

@itsfoss Given that I started Carrer as windows sysadmin, my most life-changing piece of software is Linux itself. And if you don't consider that to be less known, go and find me someone who knows a byte about awk, shell, can complie kernel or create a package...

Other then that, I like #filelight so much I even install it on windows. And #kdeconnect is just wonderful.

@itsfoss lesser known is hard.
Maybe Syncthing? Meld?
All the other software I use is more popular for sure.
@itsfoss #Sengi @sengi_app for reading this on Debian, Terminator, Xournal++, KeepassXC
@itsfoss largely inactive, but https://github.com/neilbrown/wiggle has helped me reapply patches across versions of packages I maintain

@itsfoss Not very unknown, but Nix and NixOS truly changes how you use Linux. From declaratively configuring your system, apps, dotfiles, dependencies, etc, to creating shells with packages you temporarily need.
@itsfoss
Xournal++ and it's successor Rnote
distcc made me a lot happier some time ago, but I don't think it's that relevant anymore
IcedTea for running old IPMI clients.
Vorta (borg backup GUI client)
Dialect for quick translations
VeraCrypt more of a FOSS Windows FDE utility, but I also use it to access that drives on Linux, so here it is, heh.
Ventoy (although it often breaks).
@itsfoss as a command line addict... Fzf https://github.com/junegunn/fzf

@Tarlak @itsfoss For command line, I recommend a bunch of fresh utilities written in Rust: ripgrep (better grep), fd-find (better find), bat (better cat), hyperfine (simple benchmarking), lsd/exa (better ls/tree), delta (better pager for Git), and others. There's even a fzf replacement among them (skim) but I didn't try it, so I can't recommend it.
