   I haven't actively covered #Linux + #FOSS for a few years, but that's changing soon.

   In the meantime, I'd love to hear from you: what are some newer apps + tools you're really excited about?

     @ahoneybun @COSMIC_desktop Yea I think that will make the list. It was only an idea when I stopped doing L4E.

     @Linux4Everyone a lot of cool apps in the gnome ecosystem especially nowadays with libadwaita.
     G4music is very nice!

     @themrallen Brilliant! Exactly the kind of stuff I'm looking for, because it's exactly the kind of tool I'd use personally. Thanks for sharing.

     @Linux4Everyone I’ve started using Localsend. Great cross platform Quick Share and AirDrop alt.

     @twojays @fedora @UniversalBlue @frameworkcomputer Ah! I'm currently using Bazzite on my personal laptop, which is a custom gaming-focused image based on Universal Blue. Fantastic software, especially when you put it on a handheld gaming device.

     (And a @frameworkcomputer has been on my wishlist for years)

     @frameworkcomputer @twojays @fedora @UniversalBlue OK listen, this is important: Just the fact that you have a feature matrix like this makes me want to support you.

     It's seriously appreciated. Might seem minor to you guys, but it's a thoughtful touch way more hardware manufacturers should consider.

     @Linux4Everyone Cosmic Desktop and NixOS.

     The former because its a much needed shakeup from the normal state of things in Linux Desktop and may actually be good in a few years. The latter because the idea of declaratively configuring your OS excited me for whats possible w/r/t containerization.

     @tical I'm excited about Cosmic. When I stopped doing this channel/podcast, it was barely an idea!

     As for NixOS, I'll slap this good luck charm on the desk ;-)

     @Linux4Everyone KDE connect is a killer app. It allows to connect all operating systems - Linux, Windows, Mac, Android, iOs - with modules like file sharing, clipboard sharing, device and filesystem sharing etc.

     It's very good!
