Nethogs!
I've found graph-easy very useful.
Syncthing
I like Sioyek. It's a PDF viewer that allows you to easily jump around in books, without losing your place.
Https://github.com/zyedidia/micro and https://github.com/gnome-terminator/terminator would be two examples whose development is rather slow.

It works amazingly with Devenv and Nix
Zellij "at its core, it is a terminal multiplexer (similar to tmux and GNU Screen), but this is merely its infrastructure layer.
For all there musicians out there: MuseScore (https://musescore.org)
Shutter for grabbing and editing screenshots.
Audacious audio player.
corectrl is the only program I’ve found to actually control the laptop fans, CPU, GPU correctly while gaming.
Czkawka - I mostly use it to find duplicate and visually similar images to keep my dank memes free from dupes, but it also finds big files, broken files, empty directories, empty files, music duplicates, broken sym links, bad extensions, temporary files, and similar videos.
fre:ac - Great tool for converting music between file types. Great for big batches.
Musicbrainz Picard - Metadata lookup and organization for music files. Embeds tags and artwork, looks up metadata from an internet database.
Zim - a Desktop Wiki it been around for so long before all these notes apps like Notion and Obsidian became popular. In Zim all the notes are stored in Text Files so it's easy to backup, port, and use git to manage changes

oxipng, pngquant and svgcleaner — optimizing images

zola — static site generator
FSearch. That tool has saved me a lot of time at work looking for files. I do organize my stuff, but navigation and recalling my memory takes time, so this is such a life saver since it works fast and very simple. Much like Voidtools' Everything Search, it's a must-install for me.
Lastly, deb-get + pacstall + bauh. All of these combined covers 99% of my software needs, much less need to find and install PPAs and .deb manually. Still not as convenient as AUR, but much better than it was before. Hopefully, eventually everything is on Flatpak, snap, or AppImage so I could just use Bauh for most apps, but for now, I'm glad that these tools exists.

Gron; to grep those pesky JSON straight from the terminal. It changed the way I debug logs now, and piping it to vim is awesome.
jumpapp - its a run-or-raise app. Basically, you set up a shortcut for something that you use often (an IDE, a browser, a terminal etc). Once you activate the shortcut, jumpapp will either run the app if its running, or start the app if it isn't.
Gnu Parallel can split a file by delimiter and process each in parallel. This essentially replaces all the loops in my bash scripts and can make dang awesome one-liners. Can even insert perl expressions.
