The number of mentions indicates the total number of mentions that we've tracked plus the number of user suggested alternatives.
Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Linux Mint Working on Wayland Support
It's actually incredibly useful to have apps like window managers or apps that rely on manipulating user input like xcape read another apps data. In fact such are still possible just 10x as complicated as they now involve writing awful little programs in some combination of c and yaml instead of a dead simple single line shell invocation of a program.
See https://gitlab.com/interception/linux/tools
The fact that this can work at all seems to suggest that its just as possible for malicious code running as user to compromise your security and the only thing actually broken is useful apps.

Issue with interception-tools
After updating my system after a while, i found Interception-tools to not working . It fails on a dependency on libyaml-cpp.so.0.7

What's a very simple config change that you can't live without?
Having both is a game-changer. Depends on your OS. On Mac, I use Karabiner. Linux I used use caps2esc and on Windows I use a custom AutoHotKey.

Emacs-written novel on the German bestseller list
Before that I had used interception tools for key rebindings, which relied on the udevmon service to intercept keypress events, and thus even works in a TTY terminal, not requiring a window manager. I use vim keybindings in Emacs and for that I found it useful to rebind ESC to CTRL if tapped, but it still acts as CTRL when held (now I have implemented that in my keyboard firmware).

newbie doubt here
In addition to using ctrl+a as prefix... some of us remap capslock to ctrl so then the two buttons are right next to each other and easy to press with one motion. (This then makes it possible to have that key be ctrl when pressed in combo with another key or esc when pressed on its own.)

Mapping Alt+hjkl to arrow keys (sway, wayland)
i use both X and Wayland and i also have a lot of key switching going on. So to have a universal config that works under both protocols i have to go lower than the display server protocols. I looked around for such a thing and finally found the interception tool

How to swap Caps Lock and Ctrl?
Do you know about https://gitlab.com/interception/linux/plugins/caps2esc? It makes it ctrl when held in combo with another key or esc when pressed on its own w/o other key (I loved it before ergodox) and there are some related plugins there for other keyboard customizations as well.

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
I meant this one
I hope you can look at the features of QuickLook because like the guy above said, it's currently vastly superior :)

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?
What are some alternatives?
When comparing linux and QuickLook you can also consider the following projects:
Rectangle - Move and resize windows on macOS with keyboard shortcuts and snap areas
PowerToys - Windows system utilities to maximize productivity
kinto - Mac-style shortcut keys for Linux & Windows.
SylphyHorn - Virtual Desktop Tools for Windows 10.
keyd - A key remapping daemon for linux.
FarManager - File and Archive Manager
