I updated my Windows VM to Win11. I got a ton of goodies installed. And that's a local account. Fun Fact: Firefox and Waterfox were pinned both in the panel and in the menu before the "Upgrade".

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

    This project aims to enhance the working environment on Windows

  • reactos

    A free Windows-compatible Operating System

  • Although, sadly, not quite as useless as ReactOS. We could really use a viable Windows-like OS.

  • 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.

  • Remove-MS-Store-Apps

    Customisable Windows 10/11 Microsoft Store App removal utility, previously known as Remove-Win10-Apps.

  • This script was a godsend when I was rolling out new laptops with win11 at work. It removes all of the bloat in win10/11, coupled with an intune policy for pinned start menu apps to get rid of the pinned garbage. It's unacceptable for that shit to be in a "professional" os.
