  • Pi-hole

    A black hole for Internet advertisements

    • Hijacking a top comment: everyone should set up pihole https://pi-hole.net/

  • 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.

  • Files

    Building the best file manager for Windows

    • 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.

  • flathub

    Pull requests for new applications to be added (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!.
