在这个 2021 年，我目睹了数百个有趣的 Linux 应用程序的开发取得了进展，并因此获得了更多用户。虽然其中一些已经止步，但其它的应用还在继续发展，不断地获得更多的关注和新功能。


虽然我希望我可以对所有这些应用都有所了解，但显然这是不可能的。不过，我已经挑选了 5 个我最喜欢的应用，并在这里与你分享它们。它们可能不会被列入 [必需的 Linux 应用程序名单](https://itsfoss.com/essential-linux-applications/)，但我却十分青睐它们。


在开始之前，应该注意的是，所有这些应用程序，除了 EverSticky 之外，都是融合性的，这意味着它们同样适用于桌面和移动 Linux 设备。随着 PinePhone 和 Librem 5 等设备变得越来越流行，我认为融合性应用是相当重要的，看到这么多的此类应用正在开发中，真是太好了。


言归正传，让我们来看看第一个应用程序。

早在 2016 年，当 KDE 发布 Kirigami 时，很明显，它是 KDE 的应用程序的未来。不幸的是，将成千上万的应用程序转换到一个新的 UI 工具包是相当困难的，这导致了 KDE 应用程序之间严重的不一致。


五年后的今天，作为桌面级应用的 UI 工具包，我们终于看到 Kirigami 被真正重视起来，这在文件管理器 Index 中得到了完美的体现。这个漂亮的应用程序能成为 Plasma Mobile 和 Nitrix Linux 的默认文件管理器，自然有原因的。


虽然不像 KDE 的默认文件管理器 Dolphin 那样功能丰富，但它有集成终端、文件预览、标签和分割视图模式等功能。这使得它可以和 Gnome 的 Nautilus 相提并论，同时它还有融合性和基于 Kirigami 的明显优势。


自从发现了它，我就只用它了，甚至没有想过要换回 Dolphin 或 Nautilus。我强烈推荐给任何想尝试新文件管理器的人。

### Vakzination


我相信大家都会这样认为，过去的两年是艰难的，但是在隧道的尽头有一道光。随着疫苗的推出，我们似乎终于接近了这场大流行病的终点。


不幸的是，这也意味着许多人不得不习惯于疫苗证书的概念，其中许多现在是数字证书。这对 Linux 用户来说可能是个问题，因为卫生部门很少有资源为 Linux 开发疫苗接种证书应用程序。


然而，这并没有阻止一些社区成员致力于开发一个自由开源的替代方案，从而产生了 Vakzination。作为一个 KDE 应用程序，它使用 Kirigami 和 Qt Quick 创建了一个快速、现代和用户友好的疫苗接种证书应用程序，使用起来非常方便和快捷。


它目前支持以下证书格式：


* [印度疫苗接种证书](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Verifiable_credentials)
* [欧盟 “数字绿色证书”（DCG）疫苗接种、测试和康复证书](https://github.com/eu-digital-green-certificates)


老实说，我觉得社区在这个应用程序上取得的成就相当不可思议，在此希望他们能尽快增加更多的格式支持。

### Elisa

Elisa 是另一个基于 Kirigami 的应用程序，是一个来自 KDE 的快速而漂亮的音乐播放器。它支持所有主要的音频格式，并集成到 Baloo 文件索引器中，以确保你所有的音乐都被收录。



> 
> Elisa 是一个由 KDE 社区开发的音乐播放器，努力做到简单和好用。我们也认识到，我们需要一个灵活的产品来考虑用户的不同工作流程和使用情况。我们专注于与 KDE 社区的 Plasma 桌面进行良好整合，而不影响对其他平台（其他 Linux 桌面环境、Windows 和 Android）的支持。

总的来说，对于任何平台来说，它都是一个伟大的音乐播放器，对于 KDE Plasma 和 Plasma Mobile 用户来说更是如此。

### Fractal

继续看看 Gnome 应用程序，Fractal 已经迅速成为我最喜欢的信息应用。它使用了成熟的 Matrix 通信协议，并支持用户可能期望的现代消息应用程序的所有功能。


它有些值得注意的功能，如图像和视频预览，以及对所有 Matrix 功能的支持。此外，它使用 LibHandy 库，这意味着它可以在移动设备上完美地工作，如 PinePhone 和 Librem 5。


总的来说，我对这个应用程序非常满意，因为它几乎适合任何希望与朋友或家人交流的人。

### EverSticky


![](/data/attachment/album/202201/02/165851o33sq3c3xdeekqo3.png)


到目前为止，EverSticky 是这个名单上最小的项目，它是一个类似于 Windows 11 的<ruby> 便签应用 <rt>  Sticky Notes </rt></ruby> 的小型记事应用。与许多其他可用于 Linux 的便签应用不同，EverSticky 有一个关键优势，它能够同步到印象笔记。


这意味着所有在 EverSticky 上做的笔记也会出现在任何其他登录到印象笔记的设备上。为了帮助尽量减少用户界面混乱（用 Qt 构建），它利用了一个托盘图标，类似于所有最近版本的 Windows 中的图标。


从我的使用经验来看，它工作得非常好，我的所有笔记都能在我的所有设备之间无缝同步。我强烈建议你自己尝试一下。

总的来说，我对 Linux 上的应用程序的未来感到兴奋。随着越来越多的人开始关注对开源项目的贡献，我希望我们能得到更多像这样不可思议的应用程序。


你今年还发现了其他一些有趣的新应用吗？请在下面的评论中分享它们。

Over the course of 2021, I have watched hundreds of interesting Linux apps gain development effort and users. While some of these have been discontinued, others live on, and all the time gaining popularity and new features.

While I wish that I could shed some light on all of these, this is unfortunately not possible. However, I have picked my top 5 favorites and shall share them with you here. They may not make the [list of essential Linux applications but I absolutely love them.](https://itsfoss.com/essential-linux-applications/?ref=news.itsfoss.com)

Before we get started, it should be noted that all these apps—with the exception of EverSticky—are convergent, meaning they work equally well on desktop and mobile Linux devices. As devices such as the PinePhone and Librem 5 become more popular, I think it is quite important that convergent apps are supported, and it is great to see so many in development.

With that out of the way, let’s get onto our first app.

## Index

[MauiKit](https://mauikit.org/apps/index/?ref=news.itsfoss.com)

Back in 2016, when KDE released Kirigami, it was evident that it was the future of apps for KDE. Unfortunately, converting thousands of apps to a new UI toolkit is quite difficult, resulting in severe inconsistency between KDE applications.

Now, five years later, we are finally seeing Kirigami really being taken seriously as a UI toolkit for desktop-class apps, demonstrated perfectly in the file manager Index. This beautiful app is the default file manager of Plasma Mobile and Nitrix Linux, and for good reason.

While not as feature-rich as Dolphin, KDE’s default file manager, it does have an integrated terminal, file previews, tabs, and a split-view mode. This puts it on-par with Gnome’s Nautilus, with the obvious advantages of being convergent and Kirigami-based.

Since discovering it, I have used it exclusively, without even a thought of switching back to Dolphin or Nautilus. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking to experiment with their file manager.

## Vakzination

I’m sure we can all agree that the past two years have been tough, but there is a light at the end of the tunnel. As vaccines roll out, it seems that we are finally nearing the end of this pandemic.

Unfortunately, this also means many people are having to get used to the idea of vaccine certificates, many of which are now digital. This can be problematic for Linux users, as health authorities rarely have the resources to develop vaccination certificate apps for Linux.

However, this hasn’t stopped some community members from working on a FOSS alternative, resulting in the creation of Vakzination. As a KDE app, it uses Kirigami and Qt Quick to create a fast, modern, and user-friendly vaccination certificate app that is easy and quick to use.

It currently supports the following certificate formats:

[Indian vaccination certificates](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Verifiable_credentials?ref=news.itsfoss.com)[EU “Digitial Green Certificate” (DCG) vaccination, test and recovery certificates](https://github.com/eu-digital-green-certificates?ref=news.itsfoss.com)

I honestly find it quite incredible what the community has managed to achieve with this app, and here’s hoping that they can add more format support soon.

## Elisa

Yet another Kirigami-based app, Elisa is a fast and beautiful music player from KDE. It supports all major audio formats, and is integrated into the Baloo file indexer to ensure that all your music is picked up.

Elisa is a music player developed by the KDE community that strives to be simple and nice to use. We also recognize that we need a flexible product to account for the different workflows and use-cases of our users. We focus on a very good integration with the Plasma desktop of the KDE community without compromising support for other platforms (other Linux desktop environments, Windows, and Android).

Overall, it is a great music player for any platform, and even more so for KDE Plasma and Plasma Mobile users.

## Fractal

![](https://news.itsfoss.com/content/images/wordpress/2021/11/fractal-4.0-1024x576.png)

[Gnome Wiki](https://wiki.gnome.org/Apps/Fractal?ref=news.itsfoss.com)

Moving on to a Gnome application, Fractal has quickly become my favorite messaging app of all time. It makes use of the well-established Matrix communication protocol and supports all the features that a user might expect of a modern messaging app.

Among its more notable features are image and video previews, and support for all Matrix features. Additionally, it uses the LibHandy library, meaning that it works flawlessly on mobile devices such as the PinePhone and Librem 5.

Overall, I am extremely pleased with this app, as it suits the needs of almost anyone looking to communicate with friends or family.

## EverSticky

By far the smallest project on this list, EverSticky is a small note-taking app similar to Windows 11’s Sticky Notes app. Unlike many of the other sticky-note apps available for Linux, EverSticky has one key advantage: The ability to sync to EverNote.

This means that all notes that are taken on EverSticky will also appear on any other devices signed in to EverNote. To help minimize clutter within the UI (built with Qt), it makes use of a tray icon, similar to those found in all recent versions of Windows.

From my experience with it, it works really well, with all my notes syncing seamlessly between all my devices. I’d highly recommend you try it out for yourself.

Overall, I am really quite excited about the future of apps on Linux. As more and more people start looking towards contributing to open-source projects, I can only hope that we get more incredible apps like these.
