  • You should check out Flameshot, it's a pretty awesome application. As for notepad++, there are hundreds of really good editors and IDEs for linux, some of which may be closer to your preferences than others. I'm sure that if you look around and try some of them out you will find what you need.

  • notepadqq

    A simple, general-purpose editor for Linux

  • Furthermore, enjoy the community being ghosted for 10 months when asked about the project's livelihood: https://github.com/notepadqq/notepadqq/issues/955

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • czkawka

    Multi functional app to find duplicates, empty folders, similar images etc.

  • From the README of the czkawka project: - Similar Images - Finds images which are not exactly the same (different resolution, watermarks) See this comment for how it might have been implemented in detail.

  • p7zip

    A new p7zip fork with additional codecs and improvements (forked from https://sourceforge.net/projects/sevenzip/ AND https://sourceforge.net/projects/p7zip/).

  • this comment might clarify that.

  • precomp-cpp

    Precomp, C++ version - further compress already compressed files

  • While we are at it, there is precomp, specifically created to compress files that are internally a zip archive themselves (odt, docx, pdf, epub, etc. etc.).

  • pixz

    Parallel, indexed xz compressor

  • Yes, it's as easy as installing pixz with symlinks pointing to xz (I think Debian even does this automatically as part of its post-installation scripts).
