I've been looking for similar tools for Windows and found that combination of voidtools' Everything + Wox works nicely for me.

#22Alfred is for Mac, Jarvis is for Windows. What similar programs are there for the Linuxfolk?

I use synapse[0], although I'm not sure if it has all the same features. I think it can do things like search the web, but I pretty much only use it to search/launch programs, and occasionally some files.

#25Just hit win+s in Windows 10, it's not quite as nice as spotlight on the Mac, but it helps keep your hands on the keyboard if you're transitioning to Windows.

#26Wox Launcher[1] is another great alternative. It appears to be more active than Jarvis. [1] https://github.com/Wox-launcher/Wox
There is a fork of sorts [1] that is even more active for Wox.

#27How does this compare with launchy? https://www.launchy.net/
Keyperhinha + Voidtools Everything + Autohotkey to override windows 10 protected bindings like win+s or simple win etc. I also always replace the start menu with classic start menu.

#28I always had a fondness for Gnome DO, which I believe predates Alfred by a few years. https://do.cooperteam.net/ Does anyone know the original text based launcher? Quicksilver perhaps?
I think Quicksilver is the one that started the trend that has persisted for the last 16 years or so — and that trend certainly increased with Spotlight’s introduction with Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger in 2005 — although as mentioned below, LaunchBar predates it by 6 or 7 years. But Quicksilver really introduced (as far as I remember) the UI that most other modern launchers still use, and that Spotlight later “stole” — which is to do the search in the middle of the desktop.
LaunchBar is probably the OG, but I think most of what has come since (including LB, which remains excellent), was influenced by Quicksilver in the early aughts.
