You can run Windows applications like Microsoft Office and Adobe Creative Cloud directly on your Linux desktop (KDE, GNOME, or XFCE) as if they were native apps using WinApps. It works by running Windows inside a virtual machine (using Docker, Podman, or libvirt) and then showing Windows apps seamlessly on Linux with FreeRDP. Your Linux home folder is accessible in Windows, and you can right-click files in Linux to open them with Windows apps. This lets you use all Windows programs without leaving Linux, improving productivity and convenience without needing dual boot or separate hardware.

This is Probably the Best Video Downloader App (And it is Free and Open Source) | itsFOSS
VidBee allows you to download videos from YouTube, Facebook, X, Instagram, etc. In fact, it supports over 1,800 websites.
It is built on top of popular command line tools like yt-dlp and #ffmpeg. For the interface, it uses the Electron framework. I understand that some people dislike Electron framework as it runs a web browser underneath, but the 'advantage' of this framework is that you get the same interface in all the operating systems. At least, it's an advantage for the developers as they don't have to build the interface separately for #Linux, #Windows and #macOS.
The source code for VidBee is available on its GitHub repository.
