Chainloading Clover/OC from Windows Boot Manager?
And hence this question, how do I chainload the Clover/OC EFI file from the Windows Boot Manager menu? No way that I know of, you need to use another bootloader first, OC/Clover must come first. (Adding OpenCore via BCDEdit has always borked my Windows installs.) rEFInd will do this, but you need to mount your EFI (ESP) in windows with read/write, and swap bootloaders. This requires a whole bunch of steps using diskutil, or a 3rd party equivalent, explorer++ (as Administrator).

Sigma File Manager v1.6 is released to Microsoft Store, Winget, and Github. Ask me anything!
Just a heads up, I currently use Explorer++ to do this function for my role at work. TBH that app is pretty ancient compared to this new file manager but it works for my purposes.
- File explorer alternative?

Secret emergancy! Please help me!
Download this: https://explorerplusplus.com/, extract it to your desktop, right click on it and run it as admin. Then through this program try to access the files that are giving you permission errors.
-
How do you recover permanently deleted files without administrator permissions?
Btw if you need to launch a file explorer with TrustedInstaller rights you can use 7-Zip or something like Explorer++ since the default explorer can't be (easily) launched with TrustedInstaller rights.

Tabs in File Explorer?
QTTabBar or you could switch to Explorer++.
-
Have no idea if this is the right place to ask but is there a way to replicate this on windows 10?
Try something like Explorer++.
-
Is it possible to view hidden folders on a per-folder level?
Not with the default explorer. However you could get Explorer++ and use that for when you want to see all files. It also has tabs many other useful features.

It's an amazing journey, let's start.

GTK: On fractional scales, fonts and hinting
I'm curious - when you were doing research into the mechanics of hinting options, did you stumble onto any relevant discussion around allowing custom pixel geometries to be defined, to enable hinting on modern OLED / WRBG displays? There's a good thread on the topic here[0], with some people referring to it as 'ClearType 2' on the MS side [1]. On the oss side I know FreeType theoretically supports this[2], but I can't quite figure out how relevant the FreeType backend is to this most recent work.
This is great work btw.

Ask HN: Cleanest way to manage Windows OS?
Thank you all for the informative advices. Here is the summary for those who are in the same situation:
1. Run Windows on Linux by using VM
for the applications you can’t run on Linux
Risks:
* some softwares may attempt to detect VMs and refuse running
* Anything what needs to touch hardware may not work.
2. separate "data" partition on D:
3. back up %APPDATA% and %USERPROFILE%
4. learn chocolatey, scoop or winget
Winget should be good enough
5. Don’t worry about C:\Program Files
6. (Mixed) Use/Don’t use Ansible (or saltstack/salt)
Use:
* Allows you to setup a new machine quickly and consistently when one breaks, get stolen, or lost in an inconvenient time.
* You can get a clean and consistent development environment so that you do not depend on anything accidentally installed on the machine.
* If you define specialised roles, create test playbooks for those individual roles, use these roles to compose more complex playbooks, and offload logic to custom ansible modules that are written in python, you won't wrestle with heavy logic in the template or playbook layer.
* installing software and pulling some configs and scripts down is fine
Don’t use:
* You will spend your days fighting a mix of yaml and Jinja.
* You will end up looking at Python errors because there are no static types.
* errors are cryptic.
7. Use WSL2
You need 32gb of ram, but ram is cheap so choose a good thinkpad
8. Debloat with Recommended Tweaks
Run
irm christitus.com/win | iex
from Administrator Terminal (Powershell)
The link leads to https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ChrisTitusTech/winutil/mai...
VirusTotal
https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/709834b0e003b6bb546cf16e...
9. Get [PowerToys](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys)
10. Use Devbox for containered environment
https://www.jetpack.io/devbox
11. Dual-Booting Linux and Windows
If you use physically separated drives, you don’t need partitioning.
12. Dedicated Windows machine for class
Yes it sure would be the cleanest solution but I prefer one device for everything
13. keep a git repository with all dot files in it
Many people suggested me to use virtualization, otherwise just let Windows be Windows.
Also, backing up seems to be a good practice.
I’m planning to write a blog about this, if it worked.
Again, thank you all for the helps!
