Proton.
It allowed me to ditch Windows for good. Playing games on Linux, often with similar or even better performance than on Windows, was an insane idea ten or fifteen years ago. Nowadays it‘s rare to see a game not working on day one. And if it doesn‘t, Proton‘s devs oftentimes fix it within a day or two. It‘s an amazing piece of software with an amazing team behind it.
Proton is a god damn godsend. After wrangling four or five WINE tools for a decade, this is a beautiful innovation. Genuinely, made switching away from Windows viable.

Does “Linux” itself count? I can’t even remember the last time I had anything running Linux have a system crash.
Okular.
OH!
tmuxobviously. It’s rock solid.neovimIt just feels right. It took me some time to get used to the vim motions. But man, does it make moving around any project so fast and natural. I went in for the customizability. And that’s obviously there. But the sheer speed it gives me is uncanny. My past self with VS Code could never.
I’d also suggest taking some time to write your own config from scratch once you get the hang of it; it’ll be worth it.
Neovim’s amazing ngl. Replaced MS Code with it at work and I couldn’t be happier.
KDE Connect was worth switching away from Mint for. I was blown away. All of this stuff that just works!
ffmpeg and rsync are heavy candidates for me
Now that I think about it, most of it.
Neovim, curl, ffmpeg, all gnu utils, sioyek (pdf viewer), i3wm, autorandr, alacritty, tmux and so on.
foothas been pretty solid for me. No complaints.
