Open Source PowerShell System Software for Linux

A PowerShell script to test the stability of single-core loads. Modern CPUs can adjust their CPU frequency depending on their load, and have mechanisms that allow them to clock higher. With this script, you can test the stability for each core, which helps you to validate if your Ryzen "PBO" resp. "Curve Optimizer" settings are actually stable. It also works to test Intel's "Active-Core" Turbo-Boost settings.

Fido is a PowerShell script that is primarily designed to be used in Rufus, but that can also be used in standalone fashion, and whose purpose is to automate access to the official Microsoft Windows retail ISO download links as well as provide convenient access to bootable UEFI Shell images. This script exists because, while Microsoft does make retail ISO download links freely and publicly available (at least for Windows 8 through Windows 11), up until recent releases, most of these links were only available after forcing users to jump through a lot of unwarranted hoops that created an exceedingly counterproductive, if not downright unfriendly, consumer experience, that greatly detracted from what people really want (direct access to ISO downloads). As to the reason one might want to download Windows retail ISOs, as opposed to the ISOs that are generated by Microsoft's own Media Creation Tool (MCT).

AI File Sorter is a cross-platform desktop application that uses AI (local LLMs run on your computer) to organize files and suggest meaningful file names based on real content, not just filenames or extensions. The app can analyze images locally and propose descriptive rename suggestions (for example, IMG_2048.jpg → clouds_over_lake.jpg). It can also analyze document text to improve categorization and renaming. Supported formats include PDF, DOCX, XLSX, PPTX, ODT, ODS, ODP, and common text files. For supported audio and video files, AI File Sorter can read embedded metadata (such as ID3, Vorbis, and MP4 tags) to suggest normalized names like year_artist_album_title.ext. AI analysis runs read-only, and all suggestions must be reviewed before being applied. AI File Sorter can run fully offline using local models like Mistral or LLaMA, so files and metadata stay on your device unless you configure a remote endpoint.

Scoop is a command-line installer for Windows. If you have built software that you would like others to use, Scoop is an alternative to building an installer (like MSI or InnoSetup). You just need to compress your app to a .zip file and provide a JSON manifest that describes how to install it. Scoop downloads and manages packages in a portable way, keeping them neatly isolated in ~\scoop. It won't install files outside its home, and you can place a Scoop installation wherever you like. For terminal applications, Scoop creates shims, a kind of command-line shortcut, inside the ~\scoop\shims folder, which is accessible in the PATH. For graphical applications, Scoop creates program shortcuts in a dedicated Start menu folder, called 'Scoop Apps'. This way, packages are always cleanly uninstalled and you can be sure what tools are currently in your PATH and in your Start menu.

Tria O.S. detects hard & soft specs of the PC where you run it, you can load this info or specify it manually to let the program inform you what would be the best operating system for a specific PC, with the specified hardware, and then see the difference by adding RAM, a SSD hard drive, changing the graphics card ... etc. REQUIREMENTS: Linux EDITION need Gambas 3.3 or later, so you have to install the 'gambas3' package before installing. 90's EDITION needs 160 MB (192 MB on a virtual machine) of RAM and it runs on Windows 95 and Windows NT 4.0.

HDDLive — a data-recovery live ISO (Xubuntu 24.04 + OpenSuperClone) HDDLive is a rescue live system (it boots from a USB stick or DVD, runs from RAM and does not install anything on the computer) whose only job is to get data off failing or damaged storage devices safely. It is plain Xubuntu 24.04 with its installer and consumer software removed, a recent kernel (7.0), and a curated, pre-configured toolbox for the whole recovery workflow: diagnose the drive → clone it first → recover files from the clone → open RAID/encrypted volumes → analyze images → repair only on a copy. The desktop is organized in that order, and every tool has a launcher or a cheat sheet. The central piece is OpenSuperClone — an open-source (GPLv2) fork of HDDSuperClone, a cloning tool made specifically for drives with bad sectors, with direct AHCI/IDE/USB access and a virtual disk mode — together with GNU ddrescue and the usual recovery suites.

NxShell is a modern, Electron-based terminal emulator that works on all major operating systems out there: Windows, macOS, and Linux.

Enterprise-Scale is a reference architecture and set of landing-zone blueprints for building large, governed Azure estates. It codifies recommended patterns—network topology, identity integration, subscription and resource organization, policy assignment, and guardrails—so enterprises can provision repeatable, secure, and compliant environments for workloads. The project supplies deployable artifacts (Bicep/ARM/Terraform modules, examples, and documentation) to accelerate consistent deployments across regions and teams while embedding best practices for security, cost management, and operations. It also addresses cross-cutting concerns like monitoring, logging, backup, and role-based access control so tenants don’t rediscover the same integration work each time they stand up a service. For cloud platform teams, Enterprise-Scale reduces design debates and provides a baseline that can be extended to meet vertical or regulatory needs.

Just a place to collect & share the scripts I've developed as an MSP for my various software systems, like PSA & RMM... and more from other like-minded MSPs who wanted to help others! No guarantee that everything is in PowerShell, C#, or even the latest version, so be sure to read the code comments and other documentation, as well as ask the community. You may even find discussions. -pat

Automate your Change Management processes for your Microsoft 365 environments by maintaining a single declarative configuration file to manage all of your workloads. Microsoft365DSC allows you to take snapshots of the current configuration of any existing Microsoft 365 tenant. Microsoft365DSC is a configuration management tool for managing Microsoft 365 settings as code, enabling version control and automation.

The EditorConfig plugin for Vim allows Vim to respect and apply coding style preferences defined in .editorconfig files. It handles properties like indentation, line endings, and character sets, helping maintain consistent code styles across different editors and IDEs. You can disable this plugin for a specific buffer by setting b: EditorConfig_disable. Therefore, you can disable the plugin for all buffers of a specific filetype. In very rare cases, you might need to override some project-specific EditorConfig rules in global or local vimrc in some cases, e.g., to resolve conflicts of trailing whitespace trimming and buffer autosaving. Works recursively up parent directories, like a shared modeline
