KDE has a massive collection of app, and I combed through them to find some of the lesser-known hidden gems that people may not be aware of. Here is a list of my favorites.
- Kirogi: A ground control software. It only supports a few drones right now, but should get MAVLink support in the future.
- KStars: An astronomy software that lets you view the positions of planets and stars, as well as a whole lot of other features related to astronomy.
- Licentia: A license comparison app. It lets you view and compare free software licenses. It has the full license text as well as a simplified list of features of it.
- KDE Itinerary: An app for travel planning. Well designed, with detailed station views courtesy of Openstreetmap.
- KTrip: Similar to Itinerary, a public transport navigation app
- Alpaka: An Ollama client for running LLMs
KStars
I’ll add that KStars has a really powerful astrophotography suite called Ekos. It has lots of helpful automation features to make imaging relatively simple to setup.
Thank you! That’s something I would check out.
KDE Itineray is probably one of the best trip planning packages out there, open or proprietary. That team puts a lot of work into pulling in data from things like OCRing tickets to get the flight data out of it, then correlating it with online sources. Great job done.
Oooh nice!
https://kstars.kde.org/ is interesting.
Thanks for sharing, I’ve not come across these before.
KStars is particularly intriguing, but I also like the Itineray apps.
I actually didn’t know about these apps. very nice
