I use Windows 11 -- mildly modified -- StartAllBack for a proper start menu and taskbar experience. I have it pretty much exactly as I want it without any annoyances.
I'm perfectly comfortable with Linux but I feel the same as you about using it on the desktop for all the same reasons.
Start11 to bring back the windows 10 start menu is the only reason I am able to keep windows 11 as a daily driver.
I am still lost on how anyone thought the abomination of the windows 11 start menu and the inability to move the start bar to the side or top was a good idea.
THANK YOU. I'M SO GLAD I FOUND THIS.
I can't stand Windows 11's start menu because I feel like it's too basic up-front, and then when you search anything, it's completely ad ridden. I've been using Startisback to fix this; however, I never really liked the start menu from Windows 7 and prior. The W10 start menu has always been my favorite.
There are also some method for disabling internet results in the start menu search; I will try to find the method I used tonight and share that.
