When you touch upon some typography you’re keen to use, Font Downloader makes it easy to test the font within the app (perfect for seeing it has the character coverage you need) but download (to a folder of your choice) or install it in ‘one-click’. “One

Hurrah, Chrome for Linux FINALLY Supports CSD Properly
The latest development builds of Google Chrome fix several of the browser’s extant CSD issues on Linux desktops. Those of you mouthing “What CSD related issues?!” at your screens (and thus me) probably run Google Chrome maximised on the desktop. However, those of us who run it windowed have had to endure (hyperbole, ofc) Chrome’s cranky client-side decoration support which draws a thick border around the entire window (which is highly noticeable in GTK themes with dark header bars, like Ubuntu’s Yaru), and isn’t able to handle smooth, rounded window corners. You can compare the currently stable version of Google

‘Mousai’ is Song Recognition App for Linux
Next time you want to identify a song you hear in a TV show, movie, or other video give Mousai a go. Mousai by SeaDve is a song recognition app for Linux desktop (and named after the ancient Greek Goddess of song and music). Built in GTK and leveraging the AudD song recognition API, Mousai is basically Shazam for Linux. Open Mousai, hit the ‘listen’ button, play the song you want to identify (ideally in vague proximity to your laptop’s microphone) wait a few seconds, and bam: it tells you the song name and who performs it. The app is

‘Now Clocking’ is a Hybrid Clock/Now Playing Conky for Your Desktop
I’ve been looking for a decent “Now Playing” widget for my Ubuntu desktop for a while now, having been inspired by some Rainmeter version I saw in a thread on Windows desktop. And I finally found one — but it took some searching. Now, I appreciate that the days of showing you currently playing track on your desktop is pretty niche in 2021. And most Linux desktop environments (including GNOME, which Ubuntu uses) support MPRIS controls some form or another. Standalone now playing ‘widgets’ (like the much-missed CoverGloobus, pictured as part of a particularly impressive desktop below) are few and
