Nothing wrong with Flatpak, especially when the original developer recommends it.

konsave did the trick for me, up so far.
Never bothered to compress the generated profile / configuration.

It’s more like an addon or maybe an extension, but nice to have a terminal inside of nemo.

For anyone using a BlueSound/BluOS product there is an unofficial port of the BluOS Controller app for Linux available as an AppImage. Works very well.

Been using Shutter on Cinnamon for ever and a year (a screenshot tool that allows annotating and drawing on the screenshot), now found that Spectacle (on KDE) is even better.

Indispensable for me, doing support and training.

it is available for max/nix/win which is amazing .. unfortunately not open source, i think

Not recently discovered, but it’s worth a shoutout: Configurable Button plasma widget

Super useful to put some action and/or display a status in the plasma taskbar or on the desktop.

For example here:

  1. Uses mpc to control a remote mpd instance
  2. Uses ssh to connect a particular bluetooth device to a remote raspi
  3. Uses mqtt to start stop a a fan
  4. Uses curl to control a switch via Home Assistant Rest-API

tl;dr If you can run it on the CLI you can easily create a convenient widget.

I know this is 24 days ago but I haven’t seen this thread often until now.

But if it’s any use to anyone I have been using this for a few years now and it has worked perfectly fine. It’s set up to deny or reject everything automatically (Unless you choose otherwise in settings). Including those sites that want you to manually deselect 100 different partners, this add-in will reject them automatically in a few seconds.

Just for reference what I am using is the firefox add-on. It also tallys up everything too, and so far since December (As this was when I switched to Librewolf and so reinstalled the add-on) the add-on has apparently saved me 9913 clicks.

This is the only game/WINE prefix manager I use other than Steam, I have used others but this suits me best and very nice to use and a good interface. It also works for windows software too if you want each software in it’s own WINE prefix.Just to add my experience using it, for anyone interested in Heroic Games Launcher.

Lutris is the way

found it while reading this :

from that article i found another interesting thing i didn’t know
" I was a huge fan of the Stacer system monitor app. It comes with a sleek and modern UI and provides comprehensive system stats. However, until recently, I didn’t know that the app was officially in an abandoned state for the past two years. "

i used to use stacer , not anymore
