  3. ThisIsWin11

    Discontinued The real PowerToys for Windows 11

    One of the maaaaany tweaks offered by ThisIsWin11/OpenTweaks is the option to go back to Windows 10 Explorer. I did this as soon as possible, and will again should the need arise. I have no need to go to a new version of Explorer, and indeed have my alternate in place should it be no longer possible to downgrade to Windows 10 Explorer: FreeCommander XE. Definitely a different/superior way of file exploring (dual panes, multiple tabs per pane) anyway - there is a way of hooking Win+E to this program, haven't done it yet, but probably will at some point.

  4. Files

    A modern file manager that helps users organize their files and folders.

    If they do I will just switch to files:. https://github.com/files-community/Files. &nsbp; It's not perfect, but at least it won't have ads.

  5. flathub

    Discontinued Issue tracker and new submissions (by x80486)

    No, flatpak doesn't use distributions package managers. It doesn't need RPM/DEB packages to work. Today if you want to distribute a flatpak application, you build it once, upload it to flathub.org and it will show up in countless distributions like SteamOS 3 and Pop_OS!.
