Glipper
Glipper
Glipper is a clipboard manager for GNOME. It maintains a history of text copied to the clipboard from which you can choose. Glipper uses plugins to give the user all the extra functionality. In previous versions, Glipper was a GNOME applet, but now it uses an app indicator to support Ubuntu Unity and Ubuntu's Gnome Classic. It allows users of Unix-like operating systems to access a history of X Selections, any item of which can be reselected for pasting. Glipper is often described as the GNOME counterpart to KDE's Klipper. Older versions of Glipper could also be run outside of GNOME, but the newest version 1.0 is GNOME only because of its heavy integration into different GNOME techniques. However, it can be run inside Xfce4's panel using the XfApplet wrapper, and through it, into any custom session that uses xfce4-panel, such as Openbox sessions.Starting Price: Free -

X File Explorer (Xfe)
Roland65
X File Explorer (Xfe) is an MS-Explorer or commander-like file manager for X. It is based on the popular, but discontinued, X Win Commander, originally developed by Maxim Baranov. Xfe is developed in 2002 by Roland Baudin, a french Linux enthusiast. Why another file manager when many excellent choices exist already? Why not use a full-blown, animated, bells-and-whistles file manager like Konqueror, Nautilus, or Rox? Although all these file managers are feature rich and cleverly designed, let's face it, they are huge! If you're a console addict, a light desktop user, or have an older system, resource-hogging file managers just aren't the way to go. Especially since most file managers are Desktop dependent (KDE, Gnome, Xfce, etc.), requiring you to load all kinds of unwanted bloat onto your system. Xfe is small, very fast, and only requires the FOX library to be fully functional. Plus, it can be launched from the command line in a fraction of a second.Starting Price: Free -

AnyTree
Gosh
Introducing AnyTree — the first software deployment system secured by the blockchain. On AnyTree, whatever apps developers distribute or use, are delivered exactly as they are supposed to be. The Software Supply Chain is a high-impact area. Yet there exists a distinctive lack of secure, trustless, verifiable, and transparent delivery of source code/binaries to developers and users in all software fields. Storing your code on a git means it has an owner, a single point of control, which leads to security vulnerabilities. Currently, there is no industrial solution available that is not centralized and thus not dependent on the decisions of a few actors. The main way in which GOSH solves this issue is by allowing developers to build consensus around their code, so the more code is written, the more secure it becomes.Starting Price: Free -
