A GUI for Ubuntu 18 would be nice, but just about any distro will do.

Been using PyChess but its buggy and a bit crap.

Oh, and UCI engine compatible of course.

OH! and awesome CAPTCHA by the way, I wish all CAPTCHA was like this. Great Job! Lichess

I'd recommend ChessX. It is available in the software-manager and has all the features I need for analysing my games.

This is a fast GUI, that uses localStorage and indexedDB for persistence. It can only do atomic and standard, however you can build advanced gif chess animations with it. Also you can analyze with Stockfish WASM with arbitrary multipv and store analysis results. This is useful because lichess analysis board only stores selected evaluations and limits multipv to 6.

An example animation:

This can do all lichess variants, its persistence and move generation are server based. It can also do animations, but unlike the former one, has no animation editor, you have to build animations frame by frame.
