What KDE or QT apps do you love that aren't well known?

My personal favorite is Strawberry Music Player. Especially if it's compiled using QT5 (for KDE 5).

Kate and Okular count as "aren't well known"? Because I love them.

Also I love the Global menu for Plasma.

Kate is great!

KolourPaint is my pick. I love that there's a paint equivalent for quick jokes while screen sharing or trash drawings

qBittorrent, I use it instead of KTorrent

ZachAR3@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 3y

Same, super stable and cross platform as well.

Okteta. A hex editor is always useful.

Kpat is one of the best solitaire implementations that exist. I play daily

Spudger@lemmy.sdf.org · 1 pts · 3y

Same here. Kpat is the first application I install on a new machine.

K3b for CD ripping, Kid3 for tagging audio files!

qView simple and fast image viewer, I don't need the bells and whistles of most image viewer apps, qView is a simple to the point app like old feh but integrates well will KDE.

I use Strawberry too and in general it is great. Sadly it still lacks some features I need, so I still need foobar2000 with wine on the side (for library management, stuff like viewing and editing all custom tags, renaming files according to tags instead of copying them, ...)

RKward, a great R IDE!

Firealpaca is how I discovered kde and I don't see it mentioned too often, so I will take my chances and say that. However it's the only kde program I know of that isn't FOSS. But I typically prefer it's simplicity over the bells and whistles of gimp and sometimes krita.

But it doesn't even run in KDE, it doesn't seem to have a Linux version.

It sadly doesn't have a linux version cause it's not foss. But according to the about firealpaca window, it primarily is coded in QT.

KDE is a community that uses, contribute to and extend the Qt framework, that is an industry standard, tons of software is developed with it 🙂

There's lots of non FOSS software for Linux, that's not an issue at all. One such program you're probably running is Steam.
