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.

That's a Pop addition, although you can easily use it on any other Gnome desktop by installing it as an extension

kde really has a LOT of power, most of the stuff you mentioned afiak. its not a 1 to 1 clone of powertoys obviously, so it has a lot of stuff thats not in powertoys, and is lacking some stuff thats in it,l but the kde desktop also has support for plugins, so you should be able to fill in the gaps

But in order to use that, I need to get replace the current Pop_Os Gnome interface, right? I cannot use that as an application, like PowerToys does, or can I?

[–] Blisterexe@lemmy.zip 2 points 7 months ago

ok so the thing with kde is that you can replace your pop_os gnome interface with it, but it would probably cause issues, so itd probably be simpler to just switc hto a different distribution instead. Id recommend tuxedo os
