For me, it's hands down Flameshot. The best screenshot tool in the world - I've got it hooked up to my PrtScrn key for super easy screenshots.
I also love Kwrite as a Notepad++ alternative, and KolourPaint as a MSPaint alternative

I really like the disk usage analyzer in gnome. The ui/visualization is really intuitive and useful, and I often wish for something similar on windows.
I'm not sure what the gnome disk usage analyzer looks like but WizTree on windows is excellent at showing you where stuff is and how much space it takes up
Is that like WinDirStat?
Exactly like it but waaaay faster. Something about the protocol it uses speeds up things quite a bit
👍
It scans the NTFS file table instead of the individual files, which is much faster. It does require administrative permissions though.
Here's a screenshot of the Gnome one, which is actually called baobob:

Wiztree looks interesting, I'll see if I can install it, although my work machine is pretty locked down, so I wouldn't be surprised if it's off limits.
I use SpaceSniffer for Windows but it uses the rectangular view not the pie. I do like the pie.
If you're on Windows I highly suggest you try Wiztree it's really fast. It scans an 8 TB HDD in like <10 seconds.
