Applications - alarwasyi98/dotfiles-win GitHub Wiki
This page contains a categorized list of GUI and CLI applications included in the Windows environment setup, along with their descriptions and installation commands using winget. However, you can still use any package manager you prefer LOL.
Desktop & GUI Apps
If you installing windows using this Answer File you will haven't access to Microsoft Store by default. So if you still want to get some apps from Micrososft Store, you can follow the following steps:
- Install XBOX Desktop like installing regular programs
- It will gives you a pop-up that requiring Microsoft Store
- Click "Install Microsoft Store" and follow the instruction.
- Done.
From Microsoft Store, install some basic apps:
- Microsoft Image: Default Microsoft's Image Viewer
- Microsoft ToDO: Simple to-do list app By Microsoft
Insttead of using Microsoft Store, I prefered using winget or other Package Managers. Install the following essential applications:
