Can recommend, Dolphin makes life on windows slightly more tolerable. Kate for Windows is also amazing

I love Dolphin. Great for GameCube and Wii games.

I have one old laptop with Windows 10 sitting around, and only because it's the only way to update the Xbox Series controller I have that randomly bootloops and thus is essentially useless anyway.

So this begs the question: how much of Windows can I delete and replace with foss stuff, while still having it technically be a Windows OS?

Soon:

"I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you’re referring to as Windows, is in fact, GNU/Windows/NT, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Windows plus NT. Windows is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another nonfree component of a fully functioning free GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX... and whatever NT does."

(Someone on the interweb:) "Hey, you should try KDE Connect"

(Me:) Uh, I don't use Linux on my laptop and that's the computer that I use the most

(S:) "Well it also runs on Windows."

(Me:) Really?... Holy sh- HOLY SHIT, this is so much better than every shitty cloud sync package, and that Google app they keep renaming every time I look at it so I can't remember what it's called this week

I know this is the wrong place to say this, but I really like the Windows Explorer. Dolphin is a good replacement, but it would be one of the few things I'd like to keep on Linux.

I was like wait this is so cool then I realized I'm on Linux already

Also filelight and kde connect.

So much kde stuff works on windows. Its a lifesaver

NGL, I didn't realise it's an actual Dolphin icon on the folder until I saw this post. I always have the Dolphin pinned on my taskbar but it's teeny tiny so I couldn't make out the symbol.

Does anyone else remember when you could replace windows ui entirely with plasma or did I hallucinate that memory

I'm going to try to get Dolphin through security review at my company. QUICK everyone start listing reasons why my company should take on the risk of installing Dolphin.

When I look up "Dolphin windows" I just get the wii emulator (I am clueless)

Kde.org/apps

You can run lots of kde apps on Windows and Mac OS. I personally use Kate at work since it is far faster than VScode

There even is a konsole port in the works

I kinda dislike Dolphin, but I also know it's very customizable and haven't dig into the options, so it's possible there's a version of it I like that I haven't found yet. If that makes sense.

Dolphin is the best file manager of all time. Both linux and windows.

Foobar2000 Linux version when?

I think I know this meme template from somewhere, but I cannot quite recall from where. Could you give us a link to the original?
