Other stuff KDE already has them...
And then, of course, my development stack for C/C++ and Python, including Git and LLVM. (Too exhaustive to list here.)
Windows PC:
Mac:
I would do the same minus chrome and Notepad++, Office without Visio (not available on Mac) and Outlook
(Yes, I am a Safari User)
Absolute essentials:
Important, but not essential:
A bunch of these can be quickly installed all at once using ninite.com/.
My essentials for mac :
iTerm
VSCode
Chrome
Magnet (window manager)
Pine Player (music player)
Telegram (best messaging app ever!)
The Unarchiver
Persepolis Download Manager
IINA (movie player)
Android File Transfer (by google)
Paste (clipboard manager)
Some Finder Extentions (image size + betterzip viewer + webp viewer + open in vs code + ...)
Do you find it essential to install Figma?
I haven't had much perf problems with the web version.
Fonts are easier with the downloaded version, though. I'll give you that much.
I don't think it's essential for everyone, I just like having it because
1) Fonts, as you mentioned
2) I'm often having multiple things open at the same time (jira, google docs, google drive, local dev version of our product, live dev/stage/production, google calendar, notion, sometimes social media). Then it's really nice having my design files (often more than 1 at a time as well) open in a separate app, rather than a million chrome tabs or windows.
But I use the web interface a lot though, especially for quick and easy things.
These are the apps that I can't live with.
