Winget (Better than Ninite)

Terminal application manager for windows. If you don’t want to bother too much with the terminal

  1. Go to winstall.app and add as many apps as you want.
  2. Click generate script, select powershell, copy the code.
  3. Open powershell and copy paste.

I have my script saved on a notepad incase I have to reset windows or set up a new PC, turns something that takes hours into something that takes minutes.

Winstall App

Filelight (Better than WinDirStat)

It is open source (Made by KDE Devs), faster and better looking.

Filelight You can hover over each subsection to get more details

Flow Launcher (Better than windows search)

Open source, looks better, searches your apps, settings, control panel AND google instead of bing, gives better results and allows blacklisting and alot more.

Flowlauncher

KDE Connect (Better than Phone Link)

Well better for Non Samsung users. Gives you

  • Notifications
  • Air Drop
  • Clipboard Sync
  • Remote Shutdown/Any Command and more.

KDE Connect

ShareX (Better Than Clipping Tool)

Has more options, has the ability to only copy to clipboard and not save. Is what I’m using to write this right now.

ShareX

Playnite (Better than Steam/Gog Galaxy IMO)

  • open-source,
  • supports theming,
  • automatic metadata serach,
  • supports multiple stores,
  • has emulation support out of the box
  • and huge plugin library for extra functionality.

Playnite Switch, GBA, NES, PC, DS it is all here.

Mica For Everyone (Better Than Windows)

Adds Black/White Titlebars based on your theme choice or manual choice.

Edit: Using Mica used to cause artifacts it is fixed now.

Mica For Everyone

This is what KDE connect looks like without MFE :C

ModernFlyouts (Better Than Windows)

Better Volume/Key Notification. IT ALSO TELLS YOU IF YOUR NUM LOCK IS ON. Underrated.

Modern Flyouts

    One that you could add, unless there’s something better

    LocalSend was very smooth for file sharing cross platform

      KDE Connect that I mentioned already has file sharing so I don’t use LocalSend on my PC. But definitely great for when I need files from my iOS friends and my Android TV.
