Ask HN: What was the best software that you used during 2022?
- WSLtty (https://github.com/mintty/wsltty)
Better than the Windows Terminal for WSL. You can work in tmux without getting strange visual artifacts, and allows you to view sixel graphics in console! Fair warning though, I only installed it about two weeks ago, so I can't claim I've battle-tested it though.

What is your experience running Linux via WSL in Windows?
Another big downside is the lack of a good terminal on Windows. After many attempts I landed on wsltty (https://github.com/mintty/wsltty), which is the closest thing to Linux terminal emulators I could find. The new Windows terminal doesn't live up to the hype at all, I found it slow and quite buggy.

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?
