If you use AI, you need to try Omarchy Agentic OS RIGHT NOW!!

RustDesk is one of my favorite tools on Omarchy. It lets me remotely control practically any computer, and the connection is incredibly fast and clear it feels almost like I’m sitting in front of the actual machine.

With one click, I can jump into my Windows desktop and use programs like Photoshop or other resource-intensive software, while controlling everything from an old budget laptop, tablet, or even my phone.

Combine RustDesk with Tailscale, which gives your devices a stable Tailscale IP, and you can connect directly to your computer from anywhere. I’ve even used it from a tablet in a remote village with my phone providing a very slow internet connection, and it still worked well enough to get things done.

You can turn any website into its own web app by pressing Super + Space, searching for Web App, then entering the name and URL. Omarchy creates the web app for you.

GIMP (GNU Image Manipulation Program) is a free alternative to Photoshop. It’s not quite as polished or powerful as Photoshop, but it’s still a solid image editor that can handle a lot of graphic design and photo editing work.

If you’re coming from Photoshop, you can also install PhotoGIMP, a free community-made patch that makes GIMP feel much more familiar.

It reorganizes the interface to resemble Photoshop and adds Photoshop-style keyboard shortcuts, a familiar tool layout, more canvas space, and custom branding.

Important: Install and open GIMP at least once before installing PhotoGIMP so GIMP can create the configuration files PhotoGIMP needs to modify.

You can also press Ctrl + N.

Or download them all

There’s also Visual Studio Code, one of the most popular code editors available. It supports tons of programming languages, extensions, Git integration, debugging, and AI coding tools, making it a great option if you prefer a traditional GUI editor.
