What Linux "Productivity" (ideally FOSS) tools do you use?

zerakith@lemmy.ml to Linux@lemmy.ml – 231 points –

I'm in a bit of a productivity rut and whilst I suspect the issue is mainly between the keyboard and chair I'm also interested in what (FOSS) tools there are that people find effective.

One of my issues at the moment is cross managing different workstreams particularly with personal projects which are more in the "if I have time category".

I'm interested in anything that helps manage time or limit distractions or anything that makes it easier to keep track of progress/next steps for project when there may be a bit of a time gap between.

Obsidian is not open source.

not really open source, but all of your data is safe as markdown files. While normally prefer FOSS applications, I make an acception for Obsidian, because nothing really matches it

Not even logseq?

In my experience, nope. I tried so hard to use Logseq, but I had massive issues with speed, stability, and database corruption.

Really I think the root of the issue is their database. The database causes so many problems and makes their synchronization methods dirty hacks at best.
