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.

joplin has allowed me to be a lot more flexible with managing and viewing my sheet music.

i converted my notes pretty easily and now i have access to them on all my devices.

I just wished Joplin would store notes as some kind of plain text, like Obsidian does. I've also been trying out AppFlowy, which looks kinda promising (and Foss), but it stores notes in a db as well.

Joplin does store the notes as plain text files, they're just named after IDs, so you can't tell which note is which

@JoYo @zerakith #Joplin is my second brain. I store damn near everything in there. The only thing I wish it did better was tables.

I mainly use joplin for tables. it can't do equations but for set lists and repertoire it's much easier to use than anything else i've tried.

@JoYo I do use tables in Joplin, but when they get large, dealing with them in markdown becomes unwieldy.
