I’ve never heard of PowerToys Run, but it looks like Spotlight on MacOS but for Windows. Is this correct?

[-] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago

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?

[-] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago

If you are under KDE, there is a plugin for this, but I don't recall the name. I'll tell you later when on my computer. I use it everyday.

So it is a separate app you have to manually install?

Kind of like PowerToys itself?

Gnome also has a plugin(s) for this.

I use both, Fancy Zones and Gnome, but I like (one of) the gnome version(s) better.

Mainly, the Gnome version puts a quick toggle on screen for switching layouts with the mouse, and it makes better choices about what windows to display when shifting between windows with Alt+Tab.

Maybe so.

For those who don't understand it, Windows 3.1 etc needed a third party program called Trumpet Winsock in order to connect to the internet.
