Oh yeah? Can you pin windows? Can you have windows always under the others or above them? Can you manage the buttons in the top ribbon? And dont even start with custom layout or the magnetic attach of windows in KDE.

I didn't download powertoys for fun. I needed a feature the windows did not have build in. After using KDE, even powertoys look basic to me.

Edit: Just remembered windows opacity, custom windows rules for almost everything and many more settings.

    I couldn't use Windows without PowerToys ever again. BTW FancyZones is really good for Windows IMO, and it's more work but I can mostly get what I want in KDE using KZones Kwin script. The other KDE window management benefits are a different story.

    I think this is quite a bit exaggerated no? KDE lacks many of the tools Powertoys adds like the OCR, advanced clipboard, colour picker and more.

    Also, yes, pinning windows on top exists.

    kde has a builtin dedicated color picker. the clipboard does not have those features by default, but the clipboard history supports defining actions for the right clipboard content pattern, so it's possible to do that and more

    I am comparing KDE with windows 11 in window managing. Powertoys has many tools but for window managing only the pin to top and fancy zones count. Pin windows only exist with Powertoys, not stock windows 11.
