Is there something like PowerToys Run for KDE? That's one of the utilities I would miss the most when switching to Linux.

    Yeah, KRunner, and it's been around longer than Powertoys.

    I never really used it on Windows so I don't know if it has all the same features, but there's probably some way to make whatever you need from it work.

    The whole point of PowerToys was essentially to implement the features Windows was missing that the Linux DEs had already.

    PopOS's COSMIC menu is like that I think (you can search files, the web, even stuff like turning volume up and down)? But I've never tried to run it outside of PopOS.

    I use Pop_Os on my desktop, but that’s nowhere near PowerToys. Even the search is barebones when you compare it with PowerToys using the Everything search plugins.

    Also PowerToys has a lot more to offer than the search: mouse shake features, keyboard remapping, a great window manager with shortcuts, files preview and much more.

    I know there are some decent alternatives in MacOS, but I haven’t found a proper replacement for that on Linux.

    kde really has a LOT of power, most of the stuff you mentioned afiak. its not a 1 to 1 clone of powertoys obviously, so it has a lot of stuff thats not in powertoys, and is lacking some stuff thats in it,l but the kde desktop also has support for plugins, so you should be able to fill in the gaps

    But in order to use that, I need to get replace the current Pop_Os Gnome interface, right? I cannot use that as an application, like PowerToys does, or can I?

    ok so the thing with kde is that you can replace your pop_os gnome interface with it, but it would probably cause issues, so itd probably be simpler to just switc hto a different distribution instead. Id recommend tuxedo os
