I use Pinta. Pinta is like Paint on Windows and suits my basic needs.
I do dislike the latest update though. The latest update breaks Pinta themeing wise. Now there are some elements dark like my theme, and other parts are annoyingly white.
I tried looking for a simple paint like alternative but have yet to find a good one.
I have been using kolourpaint for the simple stuff - but be aware it pulls in about 20 kwhateverliborapp items with it! Useful otherwise. No one makes a simple thing like DeluxePaint from the Amiga 
- with configurable brushes, colour sliders etcā¦
You could always use photopea in a browser works pretty well for simple thingsā¦
Ventoy Is an amazing piece of software.
Just drag and drop your distros ISO colection to your USB memory and you have a booteable stick with a nice menu to boot the iso you like!
arch-wiki-man
arch wiki as manpages is great
just type awman āsearch wordā and you can read the wiki in terminal 
I think one of my favorite apps is Headset. You can find it in AUR. I use the free version, open source. The pro version is add-free and cheap. The app is basically a Spotify alternative using Youtubeās catalog of music and Reddit radio stations. You can make playlists, collections, etc. The dev team is really helpful, they have worked on an issue I had with the app in the past.
The con, it is strictly desktop, no device app development, which is a shame. I could easily replace Spotify or currently using Amazon Unlimited Music now, if that was the case. Still, great music app for discovering youtubeās DJ mixes, remixes, that arenāt available on Spotify or other platforms.
@keybreak all joking aside my experience with VLC not playing all videos at full screen was with aviās, mp4ās, mkvās, etcā¦, so no particular video type. That said that was SEVERAL years ago and still only running Windows at the time. Since then in Windows I went to Zoom Player then SMPlayer, the later cause it was free and as good as Zoom. When I dropped Windows I just continued to use SMPlayer. Now in recent days Iāve gone looking for a good video metadata editor and after testing out suggestions and apps I found I ended up selecting VLC even though it only does one file at a time it seems to do the job the best, Might givre it a run at movie again and see what my mileage is many years later.
I was about to shill drawing again, but just noticed I did it like 2 posts back 
I agree though, photopea is pretty decent as well. Iāve seen some argue itās a photoshop alternative, but itād really have to be a desktop app for me to consider it soā¦
Kdfm
A mac-like file manager
maclike widgetstyle for qt4/qt5/kde4/kde5:

i gave some love for this 
if there is some bugs developer fixed it, and is light and can use aur in some extend also browsing.
Anyone else use freetube?

It is in the process of being rewritten and now doesnāt require a working invidous instance to operate, using a similar local api method to newpipe. New version is still in beta and whilst still a couple of features missing it seems to be working well.
Used in combination with youtube-dl it provides a much more private way of searching youtube content, managing channels and playlists, and downloading what you wish to view externally ā¦ or viewed within freetube if that is your preference.
The previous version of freetube with a hard dependency on a working invidous backend basically broke with the folding of invidio.us and burnout of the main invidious developer, so this new version is great.
Yeah I love it too but itās kinda awkward when I search it up to show it someone else without safe search onā
Lately Iāve been getting a lot of use out of tmsu (ātag my sh!# upā), an SQLite-based CLI file tagging app thatās available in the AUR. I deal with thousands of PDFs and images for my academic work, and in most cases a given PDF or image will be relevant to multiple writing projects, so the ability to tag files easily and flexibly is really vital for me.
Yes! Itās great; using the new version, and theyāve just updated so the UI can scale, which is awesome. I think the new version is releasing very soon, if not already, but there was a dev link, which I just canāt find right now.
Arronax has got an update ā¦ great for easily making shortcuts ā¦ and I discovered Gimp SLOS brushpack today. Details are in the video notes.

A messy play with the brushes, lol.
EDIT: in the video he says to use 2.10.20 or higher, but Iāve just tried it in the 2.10.13 appimage (gmic works really well in this one) and it seems fine.
Must be nice to make even āplayā look that good! Some of us have to work hard at it to make something that even rates as bad!
awww, thanks! 
I always find these funny faces come through, lol, so thought it would be a laugh. Believe it or not, I used to not be able to do anything with art; I think school/being pushed in other directions were the issue, as it was years after school that I āclickedā with art.
You see people that are keen and just keep drawing and painting and learning, and they do absolutely fine ā¦ Iām confident anyone who wants to draw/paint can achieve that, especially with how many great courses or free vids/tutorials there are online now. Always learning, too, whatever stage are at, and free doodling is always part of it; good warm-up, or just to have fun.
I probably feel the same about using Gimp, as Iāve only made brush tips in it so far (not for Gimp, or Iād share those), but am keen to learn about the filters and gmic, just to see if I can add some magic trails and bokeh stuff, not to edit the actual picture. Should be fun!
Anyone here using Stacer?
Itās a lazy manās way to clean up your system
