Ferdi is the answer. I used to keep multiple tabs

If you have ever felt that the default windows

Microsoft has been working on an updated version of
Windows Terminal that provides tabs for Command

faster, better looking, windows terminal experience.
At the time of writing, Windows Terminal is still in

Chocolatey is Windows's answer to

Wallpaper Engine is amongst my favorite programs on
this list. If you have ever seen live wallpapers on
phones and thought <i>can I get that on my PC?</i>,
this is the program for you. At a regular price of
$3.99, I cannot recommend this enough. Fair warning,
this will drain your battery and RAM if you plan on
running it at its highest settings with animations
and other compute heavy settings. On my laptop, I
changed the settings so the wallpaper is static when
unplugged, but animated and reactive when plugged
in. There are some memory saving options that can
pause the program when another program is in
full-screen and in-focus to improve battery life and
performance.

Fences is a desktop management software that allows
you to group your desktop icons into <i>fences</i>.
These fences can be rolled up so they are tucked
away neatly into a corner, allowing you to view your
desktop wallpaper while still being able to access
your shortcuts when you need to. I really like
Fences because it keeps my desktop clutter-free and
I get to look at my amazing wallpaper (see
<a href="#Wallpaper Engine">Wallpaper Engine</a>). I
purchased Fences on
<a

<a

<h3>Platform: Windows</h3>
<p>
I wasn't actually interested in Start10 when I first
got it. I got it in a bundle with
<a href="#Fences">Fences</a>. The gist of Start10 is
that it allows you to customize the way your taskbar
looks and the style of start menu you would like.
The options are Windows 7, Windows 10, or Modern.
Windows 7 has the classic search bar and list of
applications. Windows 10 has the list of programs
and start menu <i>tiles</i> introduced in Windows
10. Modern style is a bit of a hybrid. It has the
application list from Windows 7, but the theme looks
more like Windows 10. I personally prefer Windows 10
style because of the <i>tiles</i> that easily let
you launch your favorite apps. I wouldn't
necessarily recommend getting Start10 on its own as
I don't see much value in it, but it is a nice
addition if you have ever wanted to change the look
of your taskbar or start menu.

much as I do. The best part, it's free and open

reduced RAM usage. I haven't done any official tests
comparing performance, but it subjectively seems
more responsive. Additionally, most if not all
Chrome extensions can be used on the new Edge, so
that should help ease the transition for those who
can't live without them. One of Microsoft's main
selling points for the new Edge is privacy features.
Overall, there are still a few issues I have
encountered like links in google searches not
opening properly, but I can put up with that for the
performance improvement. Finally, you will want to
change the default search engine to google unless

implemented Phone Screen which let's you interact
with you phone via mouse and keyboard (or touch
screen if you have it). If you have a supported PC

disappointed to hear that the great hardware would
be paired with Chrome OS. One feature I wished I had
on Windows + Android was the ability to unlock the
Pixelbook with an Android Phone. With this app, you
can do just that. You'll need the
