| ttf-inconsolata "one of the best monospace fonts" |

| pulseaudio "It works perfectly: vlc, youtube, even some older games running under wine." |

| gparted "Perfect." |

| xfce4-clipman-plugin "It has all the necessary features (it remembers both text and images), and no bloat (no syncing to cloud services etc.). It should be part of the Mint XFCE edition by default. This is a plugin for the XFCE panel; there is also another version, with a slightly different name, that loads into the system tray." |

| playonlinux "Best free frontend for wine (haven't tried crossover). Can manage multiple wine versions. Its only flaw, in my opinion, it is that it doesn't allow running executables located on an ntfs partition." |
