Looks great, but not very realistic. The real Win11 start menu doesn't open immediately, it glitches in various ways for 3-4 times before actually working. Realism 7/10

I switched to Linux entirely (but may reinstall windows as a second OS for some games if I get the wild hair...), and while it can still be buggy at times here and there (Arch Linux, so go figure), it's usually my fault, and it can be remedied most of the time. Still a thousand times better of an experience than Windows.
i threw in the towel as well after debloating the same win10 install for the millionth time. switched to Arch (EndeavourOS KDE/Plasma) and life is sane again; enjoyable, even! i do miss Affinity products, tho, which cannot even run in Wine/Proton :(

I use https://github.com/valinet/ExplorerPatcher to fix start menu and taskbar. Can't imagine using Windows without it.
Thats all I get in the project description.
How can I find out more on what it does without installing it? If Raymon Chen blogs about some "desktop enhancement software", it must be popular, at least among powerusers/devs.

Since I installed PowerToys[0] and activated Run, I barely use the taskbar to start any program. It works like alt+f2 on Ubuntu, which is the experience I find most useful. [0] https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/powertoys/
Just want to shout out a couple of things. One, it's great to see a hack project here that's been done just for the fun of it. I'm noticing a few comments questioning the "why?" around this. To me at least, it's just a really fun thing to do to hack together something, just because. There doesn't always have to be a rhyme or reason for things like this. Two, it felt like there was a period where sites that would host…
I’ve seen some people use Glitch for experimental web projects. https://glitch.com/

Why is everyone so obsessed with replicating such a terrible UI as windows. I had to go back to windows this week because the software to run a massive LED curtain we bought for the office window will only run with this 10 yo windows software. And it was horrible. Just horrible.
(Speaking of which. Why is MS allowed to do all that stuff when they got record fine in the 90s for less? Eh, better not ask.)
