JPEGView It's a simple but powerful image viewer (don't be misled by the name, it can view most any standard image formats).
It feels weird to even have an opinion on such a simple piece of software, but this is the type of tool that reminds you of what software could be like. When you open an image, you see the image. No loading time. No unnecessary toolbars. No fucking pop-ups to update the software to get the latest AI tools.
Don't get me wrong, it's plenty powerful. It's got all the tools you'd expect: viewing EXIF data, cropping, rotating, brightness/color correction. It even has some more advanced tools: navigating collections of photos (including nested folders), viewing a collection as a slideshow or movie, perspective correction, batch-renaming... The impressive part is that it does all this without getting in the way of it's job: viewing images.
Unfortunately, the project has been abandoned, though it appears to have been forked here (I haven't actually used this version, but hopefully they haven't changed too much).

There are too many so I've compiled them here: Mostly excellent βfreeβ software.
When obligated to pick one it'd be AutoKey: βa desktop automation utility for Linux and X11.β Relatively and subjectively speaking, without it I feel hampered like crazy while most other software is βjustβ convenient.

Obsidian.
Outlook. /s
Sadly, OneNote. (I have a stylus)
Well, Outlook Express was pretty good at the time.
On foss category KDE connect. I use my phone as keyboard and mouse to navigate my laptop/PC while sleeping on my beanbag. You could use wireless mouse or keyboard but i find KDE more convenient. Also i can control the media from there
For non foss believe it or not it was google lenses, i used to use Accessibility Button setting floating bubble just for lense easy access from google assistant. They removed it and change it to "Gemini AI" now you need to screenshot and open the separate app.
Before that you just open it from accessibility and just search the screen. Translate, searching products from your screen, copy paste text from image you can do it from there no need for screenshot.
Edit : Just found out that you can change the default assistant function from the assistant app. I can use the lens with accessibility setting again *Horay
