What file manager do you use?
Oh, I didn't check recently - could you share the link about political beliefs. From what I know there are quite many developers right know and it worked flawlessly at least on openSUSE Tumbleweed https://github.com/elfmz/far2l

Double Commander
Abstract:
Marta is the greatest file manager for MacOS, by light years.
Longer version:
Before switching away from Windows, I was a long-time Far Manager [1] user. It is a great, great program far better than various graphical commanders. It had a set of killer features:
1. Quick directories, press ctrl-1 and you are there
2. No graphical cruft. All these tiny boxes and panels with buttons you see everywhere on the likes of Total commander, Double commander, etc, they are gone, none
3. It is text mode. Hard to spoil a properly done text mode with bad fonts, tiny fonts, etc - especially if you can set them up yourself
4. Folder operations. Open same folder in another panel, compare panels, selecting files, masks, regex, all done, all great
5. Great archive support. Open archive from folder, copy from archive, all done all great
6. Very, very capable build-in editor with code highlighting, and hex viewer/editor(!). I could edit savegames right from a file manager, imagine that?!
I could go on, but nothing I have ever tried on GNU/Linux and MacOS came even close to it. I even tried to use ports of Far [2], but it is... well, far from smoothly supporting either platform.
So I was really unhappy when using MacOS (there are few apps I hate as much as native Finder) until I've found Marta [3] recently. And Marta is truly great file manager for MacOS that even improves on Far in a lot of ways. Its author Yan Zhulanow is an extremely great developer who has put a lot of thought into the application, and it does everything that Far does (maybe sans a built-in editor), and it improves on it in many ways. Try it out.
It is blazing fast, it is very well thought through from top to bottom, and it is probably one of the few perfect apps that leave you stunned after discovering it. It does have a relatively high learning curve to learn how to configure it and to learn all the hotkeys, but the result is very much worth it.

Sudo for Windows
Well, sudo for Windows has been a thing for, like, a few years now?... https://github.com/gerardog/gsudo
Not sure if this is the same thing, but this definitely should have shipped with the very first implementation of "oh, sure, you're an Administrator, but not really, since we're ignoring that bit" a.k.a. User Account Control.
That would have saved about a metric ton of misguided "here's how to turn off UAC" tutorials, but, ehm, yeah, anything to inject some life into the moribund Windows Insiders Program (the one where https://blogs.windows.com/windows-insider/ proudly headlines "What’s coming for the Windows Insider Program in 2023"), right?
