Krita (without any kind of unnecessary unsupported and unofficial AI plugins btw). It's one of the few free programs that I like so much I paid for them.
I've also been getting a lot of mileage out of Tiny Media Manager.

MODERATORS
Got a game on a library other than Steam, but want access to all the Steam workshop mods for said game because nobody posts them anywhere else?
Then you want WorkshopDL. I would be stuck with a minimally modded RimWorld if not for this, because I got the game on GOG, and I'm not paying for it and all the DLC again just to get access to the workshop.
Never knew that was a thing
Mullvad, Ente Auth, VS Codium, Librewolf, VLC, Steam
Aegis, Bitwarden, Librewolf, Mullvad and MEGA on my desktop
I have a few to recommend...
Firefox - Stop giving an ad network all of your data on a silver platter.
Affinity Photo - Good photo editing software with perpetual licensing.
digiKam - FOSS photo organizing software
Strawberry Music Player - A fork of a fork of amaroK, good music player!
VLC - Watch any video file.
Kodi - Consume your media library, in style!
OpenRA - Play the original Command & Conquer: Tiberian Dawn and Red Alert as well as Dune 2000 on modern hardware/software for free.
Unreal Tournament 2004 - I have bought this game three times, the original CD release on 6 discs, Steam and GOG. This is to my mind the best arcade shooter ever, the original CD release even came with an official Linux installer.
That is a horrible abuse of the term "arcade shooter"
OpenRA - Play the original Command & Conquer: Tiberian Dawn and Red Alert as well as Dune 2000
OMG I'm gonna unlock some really deep memories right now

I love Godot for making video games.
Simple enough for a hobbyist, powerful enough for a developer. Free and open source
So, what are you working on at the moment?
BTW Godot is really nice, maybe lacking a bit in the documentation but nothing showstopping.
Sadly, I've had to take a break from gamedev for a while to develop some more employable skills. That's not to say you can't get a job in gamedev, but if I don't do the indie thing then I'm sure I'll lose my passion for games.
I try to get away from the grind for a bit with a game jam here and there though. Those end up on my Itch page (link in my bio if you're curious)
My most recent foray was a deck builder where you play as a witch running a potion shop. Your cards controlled what ingredients you had and did things to your cauldrons or customers. The scope got out of control and we missed the deadline for the jam with no end in sight. A tale as old as time 😅
Lately I've been thinking that something I'd like to do is a Vampire Survivors-esque cooking game. Roguelike, monsters, and snacks, what's not to like?
Couldn't find your bio, care to share that itch page?
Personal life first of course!
Working in game dev is rewarding but exhausting and usually not very well paid but you learn a lot ( like keeping deadlines 😉).
I separate hard any game I'm brewing at home and just follows the flow, if it becomes something then I'll maybe finish it, which means nonpressure and you can make any game you want (IMO).
I'd love testing a roguelike vampire snacking game 😁!
foobar2000 is an awesome music player
Wish it was on Linux
It's one of the few apps I use wine for
If you have a local transit agency that it works with, the Transit app is great. I wouldn’t feel nearly as comfortable taking the bus/subway without it; my city’s website is not great to try to navigate while changing plans on the fly. Transit will give you multiple options and show you on a map how to get there from where you are.
It also lets you gamify taking the bus by giving people a rank in exchange for providing location data while on the bus. I’m top 40 on my local line. 😎 And you can send other people a little generic thank you that makes hearts fly up on their screen if they’re providing location data for a bus on a line you’re viewing.
Overall 10/10, great balance of fun and utility.
