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

    Based on time spent using them, Firefox, Steam, and Terraria. Wait, do games not count?

    The real answer is actually probably Gnome itself. The DE, I mean. The workflow suits me perfectly, and I even like a lot of the basic Gnome apps, although their naming convention get on my nerves sometimes (your official web browser is called “Web” and your official music player is called “Music”? But the one that makes me actively angry is calling their official text editor… “Text Editor.” C’mon, folks.)

    This has been the case for me since Gnome 3 dropped. Which was quite a surprise for me since I thought of Gnome 2 as a less user friendly, uglier XFCE and kinda hated it. I still kinda feel that way about Mate, but Memo kicks ass and it’s much better than Gnome 2 was overall.

      I prefer KDE and I’d have to echo the same. Putting K in front of everything is cringy.

      Interesting, maybe it’s because I wasn’t in the community yet when Gnome 2 was a thing but I always disliked Gnome 3 and love Gnome 40. The changes aren’t even that big but I simply wasn’t able to adopt to the Gnome 3 workflow and with 40 it clicked immediately.

        Oh I definitely prefer 40+. And I think the changes are actually fairly big; not the basic idea of the workflow, but the way it’s implemented has definitely gotten better.

      Oh man I thought I was the only one when it comes to the naming conventions. I’ve seen it on Cinnamon as well and it’s absolutely annoying if you want to figure out the exact name of the software, only to get hit with “Text Editor” but I suppose this does make it easier for those new to Linux to get accustomed to their new environment (probably also the real reason they do this) though I still wish we could switch that behavior off somehow.

        Well… kind of. The difference is that the official Gnome text editor’s actual name is Text Editor. It’s not a case of the desktop calling, for instance, Pluma or Xed “Text Editor”. The Gnome music app is literally called " Music."
