What are your must-have programs?
Trying to discover new/unheard Linux desktop programs (Sorry for the confusion).
Edit: I apologise for confusing a lot of people. I meant Linux desktop “programs” coming from Windows/Mac. I'm used to calling them “apps”.
Edit: 🙌 I’m overwhelmed with the great “programs” people have recommended in the comment section. Thank you guys.

I also use Floorp! Firefox is my favourite mobile browser, with the address bar at the bottom for easy access, and also easy-access, reliable tab sync, with Floorp on the desktop for its workspaces feature + the ability to use the old Firefox style (with minimal tabs) with a simple toggle.
The only browser that could measure up to it (meaning it has the same feature set for both desktop and mobile) is Vivaldi (Correction: Last time I used it, Vivaldi was missing a crucial feature: the ability to only show bookmarks on a new tab) but that often feels too complicated and takes too long to set up. If Vivaldi had the ability to, say, sync up all your settings and customisations, as well as tabs, I'd probably be using it right now, or at least consider it. I mean, neither is fully open source, but I'm more likely to trust the Vivaldi team than Ablaze (the company behind Floorp).
I agree with pretty much everything you’ve said. My biggest reason for not using Vivaldi is due to it being based on chromium. I’m trying to do my best to reduce the market share of chromium based browsers
I get it. For me, that's just a nice-to-have.

I'd rather use Mull. Firefox based, but without all the Mozilla garbage.
Too bad Floorp is now proprietary.
EDIT: Looks like, not anymore: https://www.reddit.com/r/browsers/comments/1bmbetfI’ve been trying to figure out a way to use vanilla Firefox instead but also have a web panel like Floorp. Being able to open and close a webpage on the side like that is pretty handy. Vivaldi has the same feature but I don’t want to use that.
Would it be impractical to open another window and align the window somehow?
For the most part, that works fine. It’s more of a convenience feature since I can quite easily switch between different sites I have saved in the panel.
No way! i thought it was open-source.
It is
Exactly, it was open-source, but then they decided to move some code to the private repos.
EDIT: Check out my first comment.
Oh, I didn't know that! Gonna edit my comments, thanks.
Still, this «don't fork my project, plz» thing is kinda bad, tbh.
