At this point there’s just a few pieces of software that keep me on Microshitty’s teat. Foobar2000 being the biggest one—there simply ain’t no good alternative for Linux, and I’ve tried them all. Freesurround, actual dB scale volume control via Jscript, waveform seekbar, precision spectrum analyzers, modtracker player are just some of the essential plugins, as is ASIO (in addition of bypassing all OS audio stack shenanigans it has the accidental benefit of not only auto-muting , but also auto-stopping auto-playing videos on websites that might slip through uBlock).
Also, Paint.net is so good for converting .dds files. Never got .dds to work properly with Gimp.

Some say DeaDBeeF is a valid alternative for foobar2000. You could also just run foobar2000 in Wine, which seems to be possible for 5+ years now
As Paint.net alternative I highly recommend Krita instead of Gimp
