Microsoft PowerToys has become an essential toolkit for Windows 11 users frustrated by the OS's longstanding usability issues. Key features highlighted include Command Palette as a superior replacement for Windows Search, a trio of clipboard tools (Text Extractor, Advanced Paste, Advanced Copy) that solve formatting headaches across PDFs and web content, and FancyZones for tiling window management across multiple monitors. The author argues these tools collectively make Windows 11 competitive enough to avoid switching to Linux, noting that PowerToys v0.100 continues to address annoyances Microsoft itself has left unresolved.
