  As much as everyone pushes Linux, it’s not a suitable replacement in a lot of scenarios

    But it is a suitable replacement in a lot of scenarios. Most scenarios. The only time it isn’t is in niche specialty situations.

      Not really. Adobe creative cloud is used my almost all graphic/media professionals, yet doesn’t work on Linux… that’s not very niche

        And fwiw, most computer users still aren’t Adobe CC users.

  Is there something like PowerToys Run for KDE? That’s one of the utilities I would miss the most when switching to Linux.

    Yeah, KRunner, and it’s been around longer than Powertoys.

    I never really used it on Windows so I don’t know if it has all the same features, but there’s probably some way to make whatever you need from it work.

    The whole point of PowerToys was essentially to implement the features Windows was missing that the Linux DEs had already.

    PopOS’s COSMIC menu is like that I think (you can search files, the web, even stuff like turning volume up and down)? But I’ve never tried to run it outside of PopOS.

      I use Pop_Os on my desktop, but that’s nowhere near PowerToys. Even the search is barebones when you compare it with PowerToys using the Everything search plugins.

      Also PowerToys has a lot more to offer than the search: mouse shake features, keyboard remapping, a great window manager with shortcuts, files preview and much more.

      I know there are some decent alternatives in MacOS, but I haven’t found a proper replacement for that on Linux.

        Fair. Powertoys is really extensive. I quite like Pop (or gnome’s? Not sure) tiling window manager though.
