My personal favorite is Strawberry Music Player. Especially if it's compiled using QT5 (for KDE 5).

Firealpaca is how I discovered kde and I don't see it mentioned too often, so I will take my chances and say that. However it's the only kde program I know of that isn't FOSS. But I typically prefer it's simplicity over the bells and whistles of gimp and sometimes krita.

But it doesn't even run in KDE, it doesn't seem to have a Linux version.

It sadly doesn't have a linux version cause it's not foss. But according to the about firealpaca window, it primarily is coded in QT.

There's lots of non FOSS software for Linux, that's not an issue at all. One such program you're probably running is Steam.

KDE is a community that uses, contribute to and extend the Qt framework, that is an industry standard, tons of software is developed with it 🙂
