| spotify-client "the app stopped working. i had to do a complete uninstall to get it to work again. the only way to do that through the terminal is "rm -R ~/.config/spotify" and i consider rm commands unsafe. so i just manually used the file manager to delete it after uninstalling through the software manager. i only still use this because of that's where everyone puts their playlists & the spicetify mod makes it more bearable. i'd use nuclear music player but it isn't fetching playlists lately for some reason" |

| com.github.tchx84.Flatseal "This is such a lifesaver!! After a recent update, I was having problems uploading files to websites on librewolf. But having Flatseal helped a bunch with that. Also being able to use settings for your flatpak sandboxes is just useful in general." |

| io.gitlab.librewolf-community "I think when it comes to the most privacy-conscious firefox forks it goes: 1) tor 2) mullvad 3) librewolf. I primarily use librewolf & it works for most things. However DRM stuff breaks in it. For good reason, since DRM is privacy invasive. But I still need it for streaming. So I keep firefox for that stuff. I used to use waterfox for streaming, but Netflix stopped working in it. Like waterfox, librewolf also has tab containers enabled by default which is cool." |

| info.smplayer.SMPlayer "This is really cool. However if you change the "always on top" settings to "while playing", it gets kinda buggy. At least for me. Also the dual subs feature seems like it'd be useful for language learners." |

| tv.plex.PlexDesktop "The lack of PiP mode would be a problem if Linux didn't let you set windows to "always on top." But otherwise it's great. I've said this before: it's like a streaming swiss army knife. Basically the only proprietary app I have installed. other than Spotify." |

| audacious "I love this!! The ability to physically delete files/folders inside the player, the winamp skins!! The reason this isn't higher is because I kinda miss AIMP especially the bookmarks feature. Also I kinda wish .wal file type winamp skins were compatible, not just .wsz file type ones. But the audio quality and customizability is still great." |

| com.bitwarden.desktop "It balances privacy, security and convience." |

| com.vscodium.codium "I like it a lot. It's basically just visual studio code without the privacy concerns. Reinstalling certain extensions is a bit cumbersome since some stuff isn't available on vscodium's marketplace & visual studio code won't let you download vsix files from the marketplace website anymore. But they WILL let you do download vsix files from the program itself. Even if your extension is from microsoft, vscodium has its own substitute extensions. So I definitely recommend checking it out." |

| io.freetubeapp.FreeTube "The concept behind this is great. There's a lot of features I like: built-in adblock, subscription categories, a setting for sponsorship block, locally stored subscriptions & playlists, and custom colors!! But the problem is every once in a while, it gets buggy. It was like this on Windows too. So I know it isn't a Linux Mint problem. Usually it's because of youtube updating their code or temporarily blocking certain IPs. However sometimes it's because of a genuine bug or a corrupted file. Those bugs are the only thing preventing me from giving it 5 stars. I debated giving it 3. But I guess I have a soft spot for this program." |
