John: All right, this is some utilities and also just a great nerdy website. There’s a— I would call him a meta-tech, meta-nerd that is just a fabulous character. His name is Chris Titus. He does a lot of videos, and he’s like— if you’re getting into Linux, you wanna go to his website: christitus.com.
But if you want the absolute most amazing Windows utilities, he also developed a system called WinUtils. You can’t actually download it. It runs kind of in his cloud.
Adam: Is it running on Google Cloud?
John: I doubt it, to be honest about it. But the website you want is winutil.christitus.com. You have to load it from the Windows Admin PowerShell.
Adam: What could possibly go wrong?
John: Which takes over your whole machine. But he’s got rules on how to get there and what to cut and paste and throw in there. Once you load this thing, it’s astonishing. It’s got every known utility that you can imagine, all free utilities that are available for Windows in one tab.
Another tab gots this huge pile of checklists to optimize your system so it runs better. It’s one thing after another. This WinUtil product is unbelievable.
Adam: Wow, that’s an endorsement coming from you. The man who wrote the telecommunications book for Windows!
John: And I will mention this— if you’re thinking about Linux and you just go to his regular website, he is a fanatic about Arch Linux.
And to the point where he says he’s been trying to break it for over a year. He says it’s impossible. And he’s got tutorials and all kinds of things. He’s just the guy. And it surprises me that he’s not more well known.
Adam: That is— now you said it was amazing, didn’t you?
John: Yes, I said amazing.
Adam: That is an endorsement you can’t pass up.
