  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • ExplorerPatcher

    This project aims to enhance the working environment on Windows

  • The interface was.. uhh.. infurating at first. I found one utility that made all the difference. Windows Explorer Patcher on Github This allows you to change the start menu, context menu, and file explorer, weather widgets, ect, back to W10 or to customize them each individually. This is mandatory for me, and i cannot wait until MS catches up with it's users expecations.

  • Windows11DragAndDropToTaskbarFix

    "Windows 11 Drag & Drop to the Taskbar (Fix)" fixes the missing "Drag & Drop to the Taskbar" support in Windows 11. It works with the new Windows 11 taskbar and does not require nasty changes like UndockingDisabled or restoration of the classic taskbar.

  • There is a fix for that: https://github.com/HerMajestyDrMona/Windows11DragAndDropToTaskbarFix

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • reactos

    A free Windows-compatible Operating System

  • Open-Shell-Menu

    Classic Shell Reborn.

  • That isn't being developed any longer. OpenShell is its successor. Start11 and StartAllBack are a couple other good options.

  • wslg

    Enabling the Windows Subsystem for Linux to include support for Wayland and X server related scenarios

  • WSLg on windows 11 can run Linux GUI applications more easily, it's harder to do that on Windows 10 with WSL2. And USB pass-through supposedly works better.

  • TPM-FAIL

    TPM-Fail Attack code & data

  • Chocolatey

    Chocolatey - the package manager for Windows

  • You should check out Chocolatey. It's a full blown package manager for Windows.

  • 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.
