The (few) software I currently use on my Linux laptop

Here are all the software I use on my Linux laptop. For the rest, I just use the default apps shipped with KDE Plasma (Okular, Gwenview, Konsole, Dolphin, Spectacle, etc.). If you have any remark or question, please leave a comment below.

I like your list! You introduced me to Pika Backup, which honestly I was looking for something to fit that need. Thank you. I also have a Linux list of apps I use, hopefully you find something interesting there! 👀👀
