  • usbipd-win

    Windows software for sharing locally connected USB devices to other machines, including Hyper-V guests and WSL 2.

  • Though I see https://github.com/dorssel/usbipd-win may actually work properly as a full usb passthrough now for WSL2?

  • gsudo

    Sudo for Windows

  • I wish gsudo was integrated, but otherwise, I've been very happy with Windows Terminal. Glad to see it finally in.

  • EverythingToolbar

    Discontinued Everything integration for the Windows taskbar. [Moved to: https://github.com/srwi/EverythingToolbar] (by stnkl)

  • Link for the lazy: https://github.com/stnkl/EverythingToolbar

  • Windows Terminal

    The new Windows Terminal and the original Windows console host, all in the same place!

  • If you've got any details to help narrow it down, I'm tracking that in #13388, anything might help.

  • Flow.Launcher

    :mag: Quick file search & app launcher for Windows with community-made plugins

  • Personally prefer Flow after having used both extensively

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • dotfiles

    @snowe2010 does dotfiles (by snowe2010)

  • Pretty sure I've never seen any of this done on any other system, though I'm sure it's possible. It is just simple with hammerspoon. You can see how easy in my dotfiles.
