What is some not so well-known and very specific but useful piece of software that you use?

• dragon

  26 1,209 0.0 C

  Drag and drop source/target for X

For me it has to be dragon which is a drag-and-drop utility tool used from the terminal. I like running a minimal setup so I don't have a GUI file manager but I often have to upload files and rather than using the browser file picker, which is inconvenient, I can just use dragon.

• nasa-wallpaper

  4 34 6.2 Rust

  Change your desktop background with a NASA image

nasa-wallpaper let's me have a fancy new background everyday when I'm allowed to set my own wallpaper.

• WorkOS

  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.

  

• blobdrop

  2 71 9.1 C++

  Drag and drop files directly out of the terminal

For me it is blobdrop, which is the same as dragon, but I wrote it in Qt6 instead of GTK and with some better defaults.

• variety

  57 1,076 6.5 Python

  Wallpaper downloader and manager for Linux systems

  

I like Variety for wallpapers, you can download them automatically from several sources and I do it with several tags from wallhaven.cc

• tbsm

  3 170 0.0 Shell

  A pure bash session or application launcher. Inspired by cdm, tdm and krunner

tbsm, a terminal-based session manager. I like to login into a tty, so I enjoy not having to load x11 just to select which wm/de I'll use.
