An FYI for Windows users, check out Everything for searching your harddrive. It is insanely fast. Like, search your entire harddrive in real time as you press the letters fast. Compared to the crap Windows has built in, it feels like magic, until you realize that searching a database at fast speeds has been a solved problem for decades and yet Microsoft still continues to struggle because they want to throw in every possible piece of metadata and contents every time you search when most people just want to type a name in.

I went back to windows for a few months after running linux as my daily driver for years. It was a jarring experience just how bad the basic user experience was. Everything seemed like an attempt at shoving some kind of advert-ainment down my throw when I was just looking for a basic program or file.

I don't understand how an advertising system like this is acceptable for buisnesses? Like if I'm a business and providing work machines to my employees, you sure af aren't going to be making money off my employees, with the machines and electricity I paid for.

It still seems like the "killer app" keeping everyone one Microsoft is Office, and maybe a handful of other proprietary pieces of software.

Yeah...First thing I do in setting up a new Windows PC is install Everything to get instant indexed search.

KFind works great for me. /shrug
