My Ulitimate Windows Utility List - Lemmy.World

## Winget (Better than Ninite) Terminal application manager for windows. If you don’t want to bother too much with the terminal 1. Go to winstall.app [https://winstall.app] and add as many apps as you want. 2. Click generate script, select powershell, copy the code. 3. Open powershell and copy paste. I have my script saved on a notepad incase I have to reset windows or set up a new PC, turns something that takes hours into something that takes minutes.

KDE Connect [https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/bdb73f64-0fb4-4807-8e6a-2c000e9897d2.png] # ShareX (Better Than Clipping Tool) [https://getsharex.com/] Has more options, has the ability to only copy to clipboard and not save. Is what I’m using to write this right now.

Playnite [https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/19750786-a3ca-4ca4-9385-829d52baeca8.png] Switch, GBA, NES, PC, DS it is all here. # Mica For Everyone (Better Than Windows) [https://github.com/MicaForEveryone/MicaForEveryone/releases] Adds Black/White Titlebars based on your theme choice or manual choice. Using Mica causes artifcats for now but that’s on MS apparently. Mica For Everyone [https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/c17a67e4-f4db-4df2-9d89-f574a464d59a.png] This is what KDE connect looks like without MFE :C # ModernFlyouts (Better Than Windows) [https://www.microsoft.com/store/apps/9MT60QV066RP] Better Volume/Key Notification.
