Firefox with tree style tabs, with the user CSS that removes tabs and combines bookmarks bar into the title bar.

Away from computer right now but I’ll take a screenshot in an hour or so.

And Emacs. :)

Back at my computer now!

OK, here’s my screenshot:

So, you can see the tree style tabs (TST) in the sidebar area on the left. I’m using the “photon” theme for TST. with another extension for TST called TST Colored Tabs. If you middle-button-click a link, it’s opened in a new tab like usual, but TST also assigns it as a child tab of the page you were viewing. It’s incredibly useful for keeping track of where you are and what you’re doing. Especially in my DevOps job, I have dozens of tabs open and chaos would reign supreme if I used top-of-window tabs like standard. You can see the bookmarks toolbar has been dragged up into the title bar using the customize toolbar window accessed by right clicking on the title bar.

To accomplish this you need to enable a setting in about:config called toolkit.legacyUserProfileCustomizations.stylesheets, set that to true. Then exit Firefox.

Then create a directory called chrome in your profile directory, which on Linux is in ~/.mozilla/firefox/PROFILENAME/, which you can get from the about:profiles page. Inside the chrome directory, you create a file called userChrome.css and add this stuff to it:

#main-window[tabsintitlebar="true"]:not([extradragspace="true"]) #TabsToolbar > .toolbar-items {
  opacity: 0;
  pointer-events: none;
}
#main-window:not([tabsintitlebar="true"]) #TabsToolbar {
    visibility: collapse !important;
}

#sidebar-box[sidebarcommand="treestyletab_piro_sakura_ne_jp-sidebar-action"] #sidebar-header {
  display: none;
}

    Code below works best for the Dark Firefox theme and is based on:

    Tested to work with Firefox 61 on Windows.

Wine/Proton. It’s a one-stop solution for gaming on Linux (for current games). Lutris is also worth mentioning as a frontend/launcher.

gparted because it’s the best partitioning manager with a gui that I’ve used

Konsole

It’s probably Neovim. I spend most of time in a day while working on it. Its suitable for almost all code and text editing jobs.

Also I should have to add okular which is really nice for reading pdf’s and mangas.

Being a flutter dev (and shameless fanboy) I will suggest people try:

appflowy - a FOSS near-clone to Notion.

spotube - FOSS music streaming using the spotify API for metadata and youtube for music playing/downloading. Completely free of ads and works surprisingly well as long as the music you like is mirrored to YouTube.

honourable mentions:

Plex, Nextcloud, Radarr, Sonarr, qbittorrent. Not your usual apps for these kinds of threads but they’re absolutely top-tier for linux home servers.

The kernel. I literally can’t use my computer without it!

Jokes aside, I’m a big fan of Kolourpaint too.

KDE Connect, Spectacle

xorg. I used its predecessor a lot in the past, and I still get PTSD when I see an XFree86 config file.

By far it’s Kate, even though I’m now a neovim user. It’s just a great IDE.

I dunno if it counts, but I use libreoffice more than anything else. It’s a very well made piece of gear.

I’ve written multiple novels with it, short stories, essays, a home brew ttrpg system, etc. It doesn’t just do “good enough”, it is on par with anything else I’ve ever used.

Timeshift…

Honestly kitty terminal, neovim, and Firefox. Those are my three most used programs. Bonus shouts out to Lutris and proton. After years of using wine proper, the relatively recent advancements in gaming on Linux has been incredible.

The question is weird to me, but I’ll plug Strawberry Music Player. It’s a fork of Clementine, which was a fork of Amarok from when Amarok was still good.
