The sort of program that once set up, just ticks along without fuss or bother forever.
For me, as I’m replacing the vms today which I set up five years ago and haven’t needed to touch since;
- HAProxy
- KeepaliveD
Not easy to learn, but once they’re running, they both go on forever.

Syncthing. Absolutely ace bit of software. I remember it being a little questionable in 2013, but today it performs exactly the same task, just more reliably. Love it.
Yep I love it. It’s how I keep my password manager synced between devices. It can be finicky to set up but just works without thinking after that.
Linux
It ‘was’ uCollage, but whiny, obnoxious, ungrateful LiGNUts ruined it like many other unpaid softwares by driving a critical developer (Ueberzug) to quit or sellout.
Many LiGNUts probably work for Microsoft, because Microsoft gains when they cause issues, and mislead and lie to people.
Anything from Debian. I even run Debian-Testing, and it’s rock solid. Also, Linux mint, on my other partition.
Systemd
*grabs popcorn*
Just it always makes you wait for ~3 min and shows: … wait for something to be Configured (25s / no limit). :-)
If that happens to you, maybe you should open the logs and figure out why it is happening.
