  • Replacement for QTTabBar?

    I've been using QTTabBar for last 3 years and I had zero issues, my wallpaper changes every 10min. I've been using this version but there is also another one with source code available on github.
  • Using Windows after 15 years on Linux

    I've been able to set up and practice on virtual kubernetes cluster using KinD[2] (Kubernetes in Docker) thanks to the seamless integration of Docker for Windows into the WSL subsystem. VSCode can tap into Linux VMs with pretty much no delays too. Shutting down the whole thing to free up resources takes one line in Powershell and happens within a few seconds. The terminal app despite having a bit of a clunky UI is highly configurable and just works, etc.

    There are things that scare me about Windows though, for example the mandatory real-time "defender" file scanning that you have to disable either manually at every boot or disable entirely through registry thus losing the virus scanning functionality. The amount of clunky Cortana stuff that really took a while to remove. The store app that feels flimsy, the games dependency on Xbox apps and subsystems which can lead to annoying bugs, and certain UI delays that make the system sometimes feel not so fast compared to the tricks Macs can pull to make you feel at ease. Consequently I'm not very likely to touch Windows 11 as Microsoft is seemingly trying to enforce more things in configurations and UI.

    Qttabar is a file management extension to windows explorer. It allows for tabs and allows the user to view pictures, videos and audio by hovering over the file, without needing to open them or squint at the thumbnail.

    If that doesn't work for you I found a program, it more of an add-on in my opinion to explore. I would say to check out QTTabbar: https://github.com/in my opinion it gives explore more feature that explorer should have in the first place. And if you want the full version of that then check out this:
