Noctalia Shell, a shell that doesn’t frig around with my settings and keybinds 
All of the other hyprland and niri widget systems over-write your carefully crafted config files, this doesn’t.
For a terminal file manager, Yazi is very good. alias fm=“yazi”
I had to try it out and an interesting observation for yall software users. I have vesktop and awakened poe trade. I noticed mission center has the app id labeled as awakened poe trade instead of vesktop. I looked up the PID with ps in terminal and the command shows vesktop. I know they both use electron but I killed all instances and it still mislabels. Not a big deal but maybe it doesn’t handle electron process identification very well.
Thanks for pointing to 
I’m considering installing niri alongside plasma. On the niri GitHub page, dankmaterialshell is explicitly recommended as a shell. So I’ll set up noctalia.
If you notice any errors, you could let the developer know.
YAST (some may get this)
Similar to the two above Mission Center and SysMonTask its in the extra repos of Arch
Nice overview from itsfoss
these 2 have become a must have for me
Phoenix Code Editor, also known as PH Code, was originally called Brackets and was an open-source development by Adobe. It was released in 2021 and has since been continued as a community project under the name Phoenix Code Editor. Partly by former Brackets developers.
Came back to KDE over the holidays after a few years away. Not sure if this was always a feature, but I discovered it by accident, as some images in my wallpaper folder are GIFs.
Nice to know GIFs work as wallpapers in KDE.
Been using Noctalia for almost a week now with Hyprland, it really makes your Hyprland setup look so good. I also decided to try out Niri, been using it since yesterday. The nice thing about Noctalia or DankMaterialShell is that no matter what you use your setup still looks the same. Personally I find DankMaterialShell too busy, Noctalia is more to my liking and has everything I would want of a shell.
What I like is they do not mess with your settings/keybinds
@ddnn - the gif is not working here (UK)
DankMaterialShell does?
they = both 
Yeah I’m a bit slow here, still morning and it’s cold. 
Agreed! But the forecast “worst snow” in 10 years for Sheffield (UK) turned out to be 3-5cms - what an anticlimax that was 
Was expecting to have to get the huskies out. Storm Goretti was a bit of a damp squib here.
Eh? (Jif is a kitchen cleaner in the UK).

It is a project/ todo management application, with time tracking, kanban boards, scheduler, planner, tags, etc. It may be a decent open source todoist -type replacement. Just started testing it this week.
So far in my use, it feels solid, robust, and well-maintained. Good community around it.
