  • [Launcher] Failed to download problem
    I'm not a tech geek or anything, but I have an idea that might fix this. Use this program to search for every trace of minecraft by using keywords like "mojang" or "minecraft", then try downloading the minecraft installer again and see if it fixed the issue.

  • I've seen a few variations of the new searchbox on the taskbar... I woke up to this one this morning and this is certainly my favorite so far.
    I don’t use Windows to search at all. I actually only found out today about the big search menu that comes out of it when someone here asked for a screenshot of it.

    If you have troubles like this in the future, I recommend you just install "everything" by voidtools ( https://voidtools.com/ ), its an indexed search for windows.

  • What software do you miss from Windows & macOS?
    Everything (the program). Linux equivalents rely on reindexing the drives, but with Everything the instant a file was created/deleted/changed etc., Everything would update instantly. The only thing I ever saw that could be possibly its Linux equivalent was some Deepin thing that required a kernel module to be built.
