It can be hard for Linux fans to admit when anything on Windows is better, but Voidtools's Everything is one. I've used (and still use) most file indexing and search tools in Linux, and Everything is just categorically better. Aside from the search being just straight up faster, the UI being faster, and the setup and configuration being absolutely painless, the killer app of Everything is that because of the way NTFS has a service announcing file changes any new/deleted/modify file is instantly re-indexed, across any disk, whereas inotify in Linux has many, many limitations in that regard.

While I've got the conch another thing that Windows does much better than Linux is Remote Desktop access.

I think that sentiment is a function of the HN startup/hustle culture, where anything less than becoming a unicorn is seen as abject failure.
