The Open Source Community is quite literally the best

I've had a seemingly obscure problem with PulseEffects where the active applications weren't showing, so I could not apply my settings to anything. Now, I'm quite bellyachey about my audio preferences, so this was (to me) a very annoying problem.

I've found someone on the Manjaro forums complaining of the same thing, where he linked the issue he has raised on github. The solution was:

pulseeffects started working again for no apparent reason

Since this was not something I could continue with, I've commented with some details about my problem to see if maybe it can be solved.

Within 15 minutes I had a reply from both the developer and the guy who originally raised an issue, both of them pointing me towards possible solutions. I ultimately ended up solving the problem on my own, but without the pointers from them I'd most likely still be trying to find out what exactly is wrong.

I've been using HeidiSQL on Windows pretty extensively to work with mysql, and have gotten to love its simple-yet-powerful design. I've been looking left and right for a similar tool under Linux, but there seems to be none available. I'm not a fan of MySQL Workbench, and DBeaver was a little underwhelming for me as well. I've tried DataGrip from JetBrains, and while it's a lot nicer to use than some of the other alternatives, I still found myself missing HeidiSQL. I believe I'll just have to continue using it with wine, even though the graphics are a little wonky.

Are there any great alternatives that run smoothly on linux? Is there anything that can be recommended?
