My personal favorite is powerdevil-ddcutil. It lets you control your desktop monitor brightness in KDE.

    duc, aur: it indexes file sizes of all your files and lets you browse it with a ncurses ui, for me that lives in the terminal this is a very handy tool for finding where all my disk space went.

        It has a pie chart in terminal! I used baobab for this, but it’s only for systems with gui,this works on servers via ssh.

        Edit: I think I misunderstand something. Does it have the piechart in the terminal?

        honestly I haven’t tried either of these and a cursory glance on github seems its similar, duc is definitely a step up from just du -csh * is all I can tell you.

          Wait what’s the -c flag do? And yeah you’re right duc is a bit more stuff. Also, how did you get the code text to look like that? i pushed a button to test to see if it does that Edit: the button works, cool!

    units, always surprised that this old unix staple isn’t main repository. try:

    units ‘40 rods/hogshead’ ‘miles/gallon’

    as a nod to grampa simpson. have used ‘units’ in all sorts of DIY engineering efforts.

    trougnouf-backgrounds, because I made it and I very much enjoy using it.

    It’s a collection of photographs I find wallpaper-worthy with a GNOME wallpaper configuration file that changes the wallpaper based on the time of day each picture was taken.

    Thanks for linking powerdevil-ddcutil, cool to have that integrated into KDE. Looks like that will be enabled with Plasma 6 by default: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/78536#comment218014

    One of my favorite AUR packages is noise-suppression-for-voice-git. It can be used as a pipewire plugin and can filter noise from sinks and sources, such as a microphone for example. Similar to the popular noisetorch, it’s also based on RNNoise. However, noisetorch can’t be loaded via a pipewire drop-in config and thus has to be started manually or via a systemd unit, and also performs an update check everytime it’s started. Thus noise-suppression-for-voice offers a cleaner solution IMO: https://github.com/werman/noise-suppression-for-voice#pipewire

    fontmatrix, which is the closest one has ever come to a decent font manager in linux, and latin-words, which is indispensable if one ever has the need for a Latin dictionary.
