is there a good Linux app that works like Quicksilver or Alfred for MacOS? something that's an ever-present gadget that can pop up and do simple little tasks like calculate, or store some data, or whatever?
like, I don't want just an app launcher, tho that's good too. i want something that has real functionality without me having to open up an app
@beka_valentine Would something like KRunner or the command thing in GNOME or Pop OS work? I use them extensively for math, accessing files, task switching. I think most distros come with ways to customize what you can do in there too.

@mauve ill give these a try :)
@beka_valentine Out of curiousity which distro and desktop environment are you running at the moment? I'm on KDE Plasma via steam OS and the krunner integration there has been pretty handy. Especially how previous results get shown first.
