From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

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

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.

I'm running a few on my NAS:

Taiga to manage projects. It's as easy and pleasant to use as Trello, but with velocity/burndown charts and the whole "agile" thing, but you can also turn parts of it on and off (per project even).
Trilium completely cured me of messy note-taking habits, simply by winning on the convenience side. I was firmly in the "folder tree of markdown documents" and "my Sublime Text tabs of random notes have no number" camp before.
I'm considering Habitica which lets you set up rewards and achievements for your real life (i.e. apply addictive reward/progress loop from video games to motivate your real self to do things). Also Wger for exercise tracking, but I'm not sure they're the right thing for my ticket/tracking-averse self (I wish there was something that covered the whole MyFitnessPal/FitDay and the whole Polar Personal Trainer/Garmin Connect side, but FOSS and self-hosted).

For leisure, I also run Stash (it bills itself as an organizer for your porn library, but it's really good for any kind of clips), Jellyfin for my music and movies and currently both Mango and Kavita for books and comics.

You could try

Liftosaur for exercise routines (it has script language even) and can also track body measurements.
waistline as a substitute for myfitnesspal or cronometer
Nomie for tracking habits, mood, activities and many more

All these apps are FOSS
