While its not lesser-known, I didn't know about it until a week ago: CoreCtrl. Really helped out with a lot of performance issues I'd been having

Maybe #Flameshot is the lesser-known life-changing Linux software. What even is better for interactive screenshot capture on #Linux?
in reply to It's FOSS

lesser known is hard.
Maybe Syncthing? Meld?
All the other software I use is more popular for sure.

largely inactive, but https://github.com/neilbrown/wiggle has helped me reapply patches across versions of packages I maintain

Not very unknown, but Nix and NixOS truly changes how you use Linux. From declaratively configuring your system, apps, dotfiles, dependencies, etc, to creating shells with packages you temporarily need.

Xournal++ and it's successor Rnote distcc made me a lot happier some time ago, but I don't think it's that needed anymore
IcedTea for running old IPMI clients.
Vorta (borg backup GUI client)
Dialect for quick translations
VeraCrypt more of a FOSS Windows FDE utility, but I also use it to access that drives on Linux, so here it is, heh.
Ventoy (although it often breaks).
