For me, it’s hands down Flameshot. The best screenshot tool in the world - I’ve got it hooked up to my PrtScrn key for super easy screenshots.

I also love Kwrite as a Notepad++ alternative, and KolourPaint as a MSPaint alternative

          VLC is also less accurate to the source than mpv is.

          See the notice on this wiki that contains some comparisons.

          I don’t know the full details but this is a quote I have seen from reddit about VLC:

          • uses wrong matrix for RGB conversion (results in wrong colors)
          • uses point upscaling for chroma planes
          • introduces strong banding
          • wrong chroma location (MPEG-1 for everything)
          • Old subtitle renderer that in more Typesetting heavy situation will say fuck you
          • all the other bugs (including some that haven’t been fixed in years) make it equally unsuitable media player.

          It is probably possible to get things in order by digging into the settings in VLC, but mpv prioritizes accuracy by default.

      I have MPV setup to play any YouTube link when I press ctrl cmd m with a YouTube video url in my clipboard.

        For those who don’t know: Celluloid is a GTK4 frontend for MPV that mostly just makes it look neater.

      How does Amberol hold up with libraries in the high thousands? So many nice looking music played keep struggling with my music folders.

      Really makes me miss Winamp sometimes.

      Mpv is a good engine, but I prefer something like smplayer+mpv for all the extra functionality. I also like that VLC has tons of features, like full file/codec info and stats. I know there are other ways to get that info, but it’s very easy in vlc.
