Powertoys Peek - does this feature need to be included natively in future version of Windows?
yes

PowerToys Release 0.70 with Mouse Without Borders and PowerToys Peek

How do you all feel about Windows?
There is QuickLook for Windows although is not as good as the macOS one: https://github.com/QL-Win/QuickLook
- Preview exel and word without have it installed, like a pdf file, no edition, just to visualise.

Whatever happened to Peek for Powertoys?
You can use QuickLook in the meantime.

Lightweight, offline, documents viewer (mainly PDF, PPT, Word)
QuickLook is pretty useful. It is basically the Windows Version of MAC's QuickLook.

File-Explorer that can display Readme.md files.
I've been using QuickLook for years, functions just like Preview in macOS (hitting the spacebar after selecting a file pops open a window with the content): https://github.com/QL-Win/QuickLook

Photoshop shows different colors and my gradients are ruined, all of this happened overnight. But everywhere else, the file preview's colors are correct. Do you know any reason? Is this related to the Pantone thing?
Why does the Quicklook app show the correct colors and photoshop doesn't?

Is there a way to disable texture filtering on thumbnails in Nautilus? It would make it easier to see pixel art.
Try using feh, from terminal navigate to the directory where you store your pixel arts, then execute: feh -i --force-aliasing -b trans Option -i is for index mode, --force-aliasing disable the AA during zoom-in/out, -b trans uses checker box patterns for transparent, otherwise black BG by default. Also, use the up and down arrow keys for zoom.

I think that's just something that feh doesn't support. See https://github.com/derf/feh/issues/527
