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

    • Amberol is probably one of the biggest hidden gems in GNOME apps. It's a simple easy music player whose background color changes based on the song's artwork.

    • Parabolic is another GNOME app for downloading videos from youtube using yt-dlp. It's super easy to use and even allows for multiple concurrent downloads.

    • mpv is one of those rare moments where using a proprietary implementation is objectively worse. Must install on any personal computer/mobile device.

      How does Amberol hold up with libraries in the high thousands? So many nice looking music played keep struggling with my music folders.

      Really makes me miss Winamp sometimes.

        Amberol does hold up really well with high threshold music folders in my experience. I had a 24+ hours worth of music that loaded successfully in less than a minute.

        Amberol has a "restore playlist" feature which loads your last playlist quickly.

      Mpv is a good engine, but I prefer something like smplayer+mpv for all the extra functionality. I also like that VLC has tons of features, like full file/codec info and stats. I know there are other ways to get that info, but it's very easy in vlc.
