My first build, wireless mx corne.
Can confirm. Works perfectly. Drivers are on github.

From the scale of 1 to 10 how possible is it to use touchpad from Z16 via USB ?
I would be lazy and just get a (used) Magic Trackpad and install the GitHub Multitouch drivers. (I use mine with my ThinkPad sometimes and it works pretty good)
-
Anyone else having issues with reinstalling Trackpad++?
Use this instead. Works perfectly.

are there any tools/softwares that slightly improve how well windows works on a bootcamped Mac?
But no, if you install it without Chocolatey, you don't need other software. Download it from the release page here, unzip it, right-click on AmtPtpDevice.inf, and choose the install option from the context menu. If you're using Windows 11 you might have to click 'More Options' or whatever when you right-click, as it hides basically everything.

Long Night of Solace
Edit: do you use https://github.com/imbushuo/mac-precision-touchpad when you're using that trackpad with windows? It's an excellent driver. :)

Question: my Thinkpad T14 Gen2 with LG Ultrafine 5k monitor worked well. But it failed to recognize as 4k monitor after restart.
I couldn't find any cause. Maybe PowerToys? Maybe mac-precision-touchpad? Not sure...

We released a new powerful efficiency tool called RunFlow, which is similar to PowerToys and Alfred, welcome to try it
RunFlow is a cross-platform productivity tool which can launch apps and search files and more, that similar to Wox and PowerToys on Windows, and also similar like Alfred and Raycast on macOS. But we have differences with these tools, and we have our own unique new features. Right now, at the below, we will introduce you what features of RunFlow have been implemented in more details. 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)

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!

How do I type letters with accent marks?
If you’re on Windows, download PowerToys. It’s an app published by Microsoft officially. Then enable Quick Accent in the settings of PowerToys. Now all you have to do is hold down the key you want accented until the switch shows up, then add an accent with your arrow keys.
