I am and all my life have been a Linux user, I have nothing against Windows or MacOS, I just like Linux, and lately I have been experimenting with Windows in a virtual machine and I don’t really know much open source software there apart from the one that is cross-platform like Firefox or Joplin.
At the moment I know:
Flow Launcher: It’s a typical rofi style launcher, although I’m not a TWM user I like to just press super and type the first letters of the program I’m looking for to open it.
Lively Wallpaper: A program to have animated wallpapers, in the style of Wallpaper Engine.
Edit: I want to clarify that I read all the comments, I only respond to some because many times I have nothing to contribute to many of them because I don’t know what to comment. Thanks to all of you for providing your lists of programs, I will be sure to try as many as I can because they are great, at least I know what to install if I use Windows one day!
BalenaEtcher or Rufus for writing ISOs to usb.
Or ventoy ? More useful, and so much faster than rufus.
dd works very well if it’s a Linux ISO and you’re using the USB solely as a livecd.
It can also byte-clone discs and partitions, including ripping CDs and DVDs.
Don’t know about dd, but I’ll give an eye. https://www.ventoy.net/en/index.html Ventoy has a ton of features.
dd is a fairly ancient/standard file copy utility, if you dd an ISO file to a drive, it images that drive.
Ventoy is basically a clever use of GRUB, which allows booting multiple ISOs from the same USB stick.
