But think of all the programs that don't even exist on Windows:)
Foliate is hands down the best ebook reader
Okular is good enough for me. It has at least 3 dark modes and I can hide all the UI in non-fullscreen mode.
Okular is the MPV of documents it seems. Regarding file-formats and UI. I only use it for PDF's and I honestly had no clue it can read e-books and so much other formats. Even docx and odt with plugins. Also didn't knew it has 3 dark-modes. Tyvm for your post.
BTW, I love mpv. It's minimalistic, supports all necessary shortcuts and can be controlled via Lua script. As a scripter/keyboard-only user it's perfect.
Yeah it's great. I use it for youtube and twitch and I don't need more than the volume, mute, forward/backward and fullscreen keys to use it. Never touched Lua. Do you use it with MPV yourself?
Yes, for auto fullscreening, changing subtitles/audio, skipping some chapters etc.
Not quite a program but I fricking love KRunner. And Kate and Dolphin, though available in Windows, don't work as well.
AFAIK the Same situation with KDE Connect which I couldn't properly exist without. Also KRunner & Dolphin. Kate would be possible but hard AF.
Full on agree with KRunner. One of the MVP applications of KDE. So far none of the alternatives I tried on Windows 10 and MacOS come anywhere close to its power and elegance. Maybe Alfred which I tested years ago.
I could write 10 more paragraphs about why KRunner is one of the most advanced laucher/search/command application but I think everyone should experience it themselves. Best not to over-do it with the KRunner-plugins where an overwhelmingly long search result list could ruin your experience.
WSL ;)
I quite like both OSs but mostly for different reasons.
