What beautiful Linux apps deserve more "marketing attention" for lack of a better term?

1

bitwarden

Bitwarden : The best password manager there is. All open source and available on pretty much any device. I cannot recommend it enough.

Joplin

Joplin : Note-taking and to-do lists. Far more flexible than Standard Notes or SimpleNote, but by default, it lacks the multi-device syncing these apps have. However, you can enable this feature if you sync using Nextcloud via WebDAV. It can be very unintuitive for a beginner to initially setup, but once you do, you have the best note-taking app out there while also being able to sync it across multiple devices.

OpenRGB

OpenRGB : This app lets you control any RGB lighting you have on your system. It's been getting a steady stream of updates and works really well in most cases.

OpenRazer

Piper : This app lets you configure gaming mice on your system. It's handy if you want to do things like change the sensitivity/ DPI or remap any extra buttons you might have. It also lets you change the lighting on it too in case OpenRGB doesn't pick up your mouse. OpenRazor is handy for this too and specializes on Razor hardware. Also worth pointing out that the last three apps I mentioned are great if hardware tweaking for your mouse/ keyboard /accessories etc is only available through proprietary apps on Windows. While they may not be able to match 100% of all the functionality, they are the next best thing and are all open source, so you can contribute to them if you are able.

Lutris

Lutris : Game manager app and website, which has a massive catalogue of scripts to allow you to play Windows games on Linux. While Steam does have Proton to allow such compatibility, Lutris is handy for non-steam games like Overwatch. Also cool is that once Lutris has a game setup and ready to run, you can use the 'add non-steam game' feature in Steam and point it at the executable in Lutris. I do this for Overwatch, and I can then launch the game directly from Steam, which is really handy.
