Best Windows apps this week
Five-hundred-and-thirty-eight in a series. Welcome to this week's overview of the best apps, games and extensions released for Windows 10 and 11 on the Microsoft Store and elsewhere in the past seven days.
Microsoft is working on integrating a few usability improvements into its Windows 11 operating system. There is a new End Task option when right-clicking on open apps in the Windows taskbar, and a remapped Print Screen key, which will open the Snipping Tool in the future.
Oracle Linux is now available for WSL in the Microsoft Store
There are a number of Linux distros for WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux) available to download from the Microsoft Store. Big names on offer include Ubuntu, Debian, Kali, SUSE and openSUSE. Now one more has arrived -- Oracle Linux.
Sneaking into the store with little fanfare on Monday, January 31, the official arrival of Oracle Linux 8.5 will be welcomed by any developers wanting to run Linux software in a Windows environment.
