Powertoys on windows are a boon, but there’s absolutely no word you can say they make windows “behave like linux”. Not even close.
What’s the second one? PowerToys and?
It’s WSL, I think the logo is relatively new though or maybe not official idk
Interesting, didn’t know WSL had a logo. Thank you!
Oh, yes all the tools that should already exist in their crappy, uninnovated OS.
They still haven’t figured out how to do updates without installing during a reboot.
Something Linux has been doing since the 90’s
Sometimes those updates only apply when you reboot.
yes. And then it’s literally just a… reboot.
You don’t sit there waiting for it to install. It’s just restarting the kernel so the newly-installed version takes over. (and generally it only applies to the kernel updates.)
Fedora does the windows update style updates now a lot of the time.
You can turn that off and apply patched live, if you prefer. It’s just a toggle.
Technically rebooting and installing updates is “safer” but I’ve never had an update applied to a running system fail catastrophically, because unlike Windows, operating system components are compartmentalized. As such, restarting most system components causes no issues with functionality for everything else.
Meh… switch to linux, already
No true. I use it only for FancyZones. A feature not native to Linux. In gnome I also have to install a plugin to get this functionality.
I’ve never heard of PowerToys Run, but it looks like Spotlight on MacOS but for Windows. Is this correct?
Yes! And they also have an Everything (way better search program than Windows has EVER been) plugin that I’ve tweaked to include Everything’s results at the top since the index it does is exponentially better than Windows’ own. Highly recommend for those that want that two button search that has always found what I was looking for on my own computer.
Shoutout to KDE for their search function, KRunner?, as it is amazing and ready to go from the get go.
Is there a Linux application that does what fancyzones does?
winsock.dll
