• No Start Menu for You

  > That's the mistake right there, use a proper app launcher (like https://keypirinha.com/) to avoid the freeze and many other issues Sorry, no! I am not going to install a whole new application only to launch programs - the most fundamental operation we could ask the OS to do). If the OS cannot launch programs, it needs to be investigated and fixed. The OP article does half of that very well! - Source: Hacker News / 2 months ago

• No Start Menu for You

  > I tend to launch most programs on my Windows 10 laptop by typing the key, then a few letters of the program name, and then hitting enter. That's the mistake right there, use a proper app launcher (like https://keypirinha.com/) to avoid the freeze and many other issues (like having to move your focus off screen center) with this neglected core OS functionality. While you're at it, you could also rebind it... - Source: Hacker News / 2 months ago

• Alternative Windows Desktop

  Cool, that still exists. Some years ago I was into all that desktop customization and tried this, LiteStep [0] and Blackbox/bb4win [1] but ended up with BlackBox. Nowadays, all the customization I need is a tool to fix the taskbar position that someone who probably uses a portrait mode monitor moved to the wrong spot [2] and a launcher [3] [0]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LiteStep [1]:... - Source: Hacker News / 6 months ago

• Sol: Open-source Alfred/Raycast alternative for macOS

  I shared the exact same sentiment when I transitioned to Windows after a long period of only using macOS. I eventually began building a launcher myself using C# and over time it has become my daily driver. Feel free to check it out at https://github.com/dkgv/pinpoint, PRs welcome :-) A few other nice candidates I found include: - Keypirinha: https://keypirinha.com/ - Wox: https://github.com/Wox-launcher/Wox -... - Source: Hacker News / 8 months ago

• Bookmarking Application

  As for my experience using it, I don't use it. I use a Keyboard Launcher for exploring my bookmarks; much much more convenient than using a dedicated bookmark manager. Its not visual, so it might not interest you. Yet, if you wanna try it out, I'd recommend Keypirinha (has a portable version): https://keypirinha.com/ . You can see how it works here: https://youtu.be/eSnoReaEYao. - Source: Reddit / 9 months ago

  I switched from Launchy to Keypirinha as my launcher, and haven't looked back. I'd consider looking into the new Powertoys one though. - Source: Reddit / 11 months ago

• Using Windows after 15 years on Linux

  Since you mentioned that the tool that act's like Mac's Spotlight was very slow. I have found two better alternative which works wonders: 1. FluentSearch: https://www.fluentsearch.net/. I highly recommend trying this out. It's magically and amazing, and I think this is the closest a tool has got to Spotlight on windows and also has amazing amounts of customizability. I recommend using Everything as the Search... - Source: Hacker News / 12 months ago
