I'm so happy you're uploading again, you're one of the reasons I started making Linux content.

Nice to see a youtube reviewer actually using Zorin OS as a daily driver. Very refreshing to see.

Few suggestions from me
1. Morgen Calendar: It is closed-source calendar app. It has free option. If you have to manage multiple calendars for your meetings, jobs etc, you may want to take a look. It is available as snap, deb and rpm.
2. Lunacy: Pretty good prototyping app. Works good with sketch file.
3.Nasc Calculator and Parsify Desktop: Both are notepad style calculator similar to Numi or Soulver 3 available for macos. Handy calculator.
4. Espanso text expander: It works both on x11 and wayland(alpha)
5.Swach: Pretty decent color picker tool for Linux.
6.Boomaga: Virtual Printer for Linux.
7. Qpwgraph and Helvum: patchbay for pipewire. Extremely handy if you want to route audio.

Xournal++ is also a very sophisticated note taking tool (available all in Linux, Wİndows, Mac) if you have a drawing pen device. I use it, very good software

[joshferguson]

Like many others have stated. I'm glad to see you back creating content again.

[fauzrukendworld]

The barrier app is clearly a must have for the Steam Deck! Thanks for the info!

[UnrelentingAssault]

As someone mentioned, Xournal++ is wonderful. I use it daily for lectures, then export my notes as PDFs for my students.

Switched back to Windows after daily driving Linux for around 9 years but I still find your content very enjoyable and watchable - more than the vast majority of Linux content creators. It was a video from you about elementaryOS Luna that got me to stick with Linux instead of dual booting. It's a beautiful "ecosystem". I hope Linux matures enough so that I can return to it as my primary OS again.

Wow! RNote is amazing thanks for suggesting.

[peterbreis]

Installed CopyQ on my Mac to try.

In macOS you just drag your cursor over text in bitmaps and paste the text into anywhere that takes text. No App needed.

Amazing wallpaper!
Can you provide a link, please?
In time, thanks for the video.

Wow, i'm surprised an app such as blanket actually exists. It's exactly what i needed

[ChrisGuiver]

Thank you for video. I didn't know about `blanket` but it looked so great, I installed it & had a quick play last night... Not sure if it'll improve my productivity, but it'll be another tool I use on occasion I bet.

[murraydawson]

I really like Joplin for sharing notes on Linux, Windows and Android.

[syeduroojkamal]

I am new here,
amazing video
it would be nice if you made a list of these apps from all over your channel

[ViBENo]

blanket is pretty cool but nothing new. oh, and barrier.... kinda dead on most distros.

[prettysheddy]

Hey are you still using KDE Plasma I remember in one of your videos you thought it was awesome. If not what made you switch?

[toranshaw]

Of that list Frog is the one that's most useful for me, so ta for that! 👍

Also, have you taken a look at Logseq yet? It's an open source outliner app that many, myself included, use for note-taking and knowledge management.

How to disable inadvertant caps lock? I have tried a few ways and none of them work. Linux Mint.

[baroklim]

in this batch of apps, i found - frog with the most use
