Bitwarden : The best password manager there is. All open source and available on pretty much any device. I cannot recommend it enough.
Joplin : Note-taking and to-do lists. Far more flexible than Standard Notes or SimpleNote, but by default, it lacks the multi-device syncing these apps have. However, you can enable this feature if you sync using Nextcloud via WebDAV. It can be very unintuitive for a beginner to initially setup, but once you do, you have the best note-taking app out there while also being able to sync it across multiple devices.
Pop Dictionary my attempt at making a simple-to-use dictionary (GoldenDict) function as a built-in cosmic launcher extension
VSCodium a tracker-free version of Visual Studio Code
Obsidian a searchable, personal knowledge base on top of time-honored local text files
Flameshot a screenshot app that lets you easily add annotations like text or arrows pointing to things
Celluloid a simple but versatile GTK-native video player
Stashed Drag your files to Stashed to copy it later.
Super productivity Free and opensource todolist app. Good integration with github, Jira etc.
Lunacy Prototyping tool. Alternative to Figma. You also have Penpot. This one is open source.
Transmission a minimal torrent client that can also be controlled from remote using the Android app
Nemo Cinnamon's file manager, I love how customizable it is, even if it looks worse than Nautilus :(
mpv a minimal video player that has accompanied me for a decade
calcurse a text-based calendar and scheduling application
Cider, an Apple Music client that is way less clunkier than iTunes.
Menu Libre/ Menu Editor : Slick GUI app for editing your app icons, names etc.
PDF Arranger : Great app for merging PDF files with a GUI. Very handy if you get college notes etc in PDF. I often merged multiple together to make a convenient cheat sheet for open book exams.
Piper : This app lets you configure gaming mice on your system. It's handy if you want to do things like change the sensitivity/ DPI or remap any extra buttons you might have. It also lets you change the lighting on it too in case OpenRGB doesn't pick up your mouse. OpenRazor is handy for this too and specializes on Razor hardware. Also worth pointing out that the last three apps I mentioned are great if hardware tweaking for your mouse/ keyboard /accessories etc is only available through proprietary apps on Windows. While they may not be able to match 100% of all the functionality, they are the next best thing and are all open source, so you can contribute to them if you are able.
Web Apps : Originally designed for Linux Mint, it lets you easily create a local app from a web app. Handy if you want to use an app that isn't typically available on Linux, like Duolingo etc
Lutris : Game manager app and website, which has a massive catalogue of scripts to allow you to play Windows games on Linux. While Steam does have Proton to allow such compatibility, Lutris is handy for non-steam games like Overwatch. Also cool is that once Lutris has a game setup and ready to run, you can use the 'add non-steam game' feature in Steam and point it at the executable in Lutris. I do this for Overwatch, and I can then launch the game directly from Steam, which is really handy.

NewsFlash : This is a great RSS reader for Linux. I like to use it for YouTube, since you can create RSS feeds for channels and have them show up in the app. This is handy if you want to delete your YouTube/ Google account but still want an easy way to keep up with your favourite channels. I can post a guide too if anyone wants more info on how to do this btw.
