    • GIMP (with photogimp patch)
    • Steam
    • Librewolf (I could also opt for a chromium based browser)
    • Tor Browser (to browse onion links/throwaway browser)
    • Heroic Games Launcher
    • Prism Launcher
    • latest Java lts (either from adoptium or openjdk i dont care about flashy new features)
    • Libreoffice Still (similar to the second reason above and onlyoffice in appimage due to Libreoffice weird handling with ppsx files and powerpoints)
    • QEMU/KVM with virt manager
    • Gnome evolution (if it’s gtk desktop I could opt for other email clients)
    • Proton-GE
    • WINE
    • Ghostty(Kinda sucks it’s based on libadwaita and gnome forces this theme on you no matter your desktop)
    • Fish/ZSH(fish not having posix compatibility is kinda annoying)
    • MPV (I could still use vlc but I prefer mpv because it can stream youtube links)
    • ytp-dl(I can opt for a gui for convenience sake)
    • BTOP
    • Fastfetch
