Thanks for mentioning Everything, do you have other must-haves to recommend? My company uses Windows and I hate spending so much of my time waiting for Windows to unfreeze and whatnot

If you want to use it in your start menu, there are some options. I know Start11 can use Everything, for example (but isn't free - there may be free options out there, but I haven't looked).

Otherwise, most of what I've seen are CLI applications. Is there anything specific about Windows you're hoping to see a replacement for? For me, search and settings (why the f are you advertising to me in the f-ing settings?) are the worst offenders, but settings is kinda locked in for the most part unfortunately.
