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

      VLC is also less accurate to the source than mpv is.

      See the notice on this wiki that contains some comparisons.

      I don’t know the full details but this is a quote I have seen from reddit about VLC:

      • uses wrong matrix for RGB conversion (results in wrong colors)
      • uses point upscaling for chroma planes
      • introduces strong banding
      • wrong chroma location (MPEG-1 for everything)
      • Old subtitle renderer that in more Typesetting heavy situation will say fuck you
      • all the other bugs (including some that haven’t been fixed in years) make it equally unsuitable media player.

      It is probably possible to get things in order by digging into the settings in VLC, but mpv prioritizes accuracy by default.

        For me I got mad at VLC cause it was opening video track in separate window for some reason.

      MPV handles decoding much better than VLC, in my experience trying to watch fansubs
