Redshift, it changes the brightness/color on the display bluer closer to midday and redder at night. Twilight is a similar app on android.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

KDE includes now a default option in their settings to do this. It's in the Colors & Themes > Night Light menu.
Gnome too, btw 😉
For me it's Perl's rename, which of course cones in a variety of package names depending on the distro you use. In trying to find a link, I landed on this stack exchange answer that gives a great overview of how the tool works and the different packages available on different distros.
I have to bulk rename files every day, and using regex and the other features of Perl's rename makes it so much easier to do.
The Docker Engine makes hosting applications over your network easy, if you have spare hardware I highly recommend setting up your own server.
I don't know if it has been already mentioned but I love bat a lot. It's like the cat command but with colors and line numbers. Makes things a little bit easier.
Ocenaudio for audio editing. It's not FOSS but it's native, simple to use, and doesn't have backend library issues I kept having with audacity.
100%, super impressed with Ocenaudio.

Not Linux exclusive, but https://freefilesync.org/ and https://goaccess.io/ my beloved
Easy file sync and easy log checking
I do a fair amount of pentesting and I'm on mobile, so I'll just list software.
Trufflehog & nosey parker (both kinda suck, but there's nothing better)
Subfinder
Nuclei
Credmaster
To name a few.

Sorry to thread jack. One little app I miss from Windows is a simple screengrab annotator? Wondering if people have anything to recommend.
Eg to circle some on screen text, add an arrow and maybe add some of my own text.
I cant get my Loigtech KB to screen grab, so I just use the Screengrab app in Mint, which is fine but zero annotation abilities.
I have tried Flameshot but it is a shitshow and doesn't work properly and is unstable (for me) and doesn't allow me to put it in the clipboard and paste in say Signal.

It could be helpful if you explain what they do and how they relate to your computing needs. For example, I have been using Linux for over 25 years, and the only name in yor list which I have an idea about what it does is Deja Dup (personally, I use tar for backups, in a simple incremental setup).
I know Strawberry, because I use it too. It's a music player, forked from Clementine years ago. I find it the best for my use case, as it can handle library by tags, do folder view for separate locations, do tag editing, lyrics and art download, etc. Can highly recommend!
