Sorry. I don't think windows 11 was designed first as a operating system. It is a ad delivery service and tracking software. I don't hate it but I don't like it either. I remember the days when windows was actually fun to use. Now I just tolerate it.

Not like Windows 10 but like Windows 7 with Open Shell https://github.com/Open-Shell/Open-Shell-Menu

Do you understand what an editorial is? It is one person's opinion on a subject that they think others will be able to engage with when it comes to discussion. But your reply doesn't offer discussion. It is a false statement of fact. You may as well have written, "I don't like watermelon."

If it wasn't for games, I'd be on Linux like 3-4 years ago. Have been using it on non gaming systems for years and actually prefer it. I'm just in the mood to deal with compatibility BS with X and Y games.
