I went through all the trouble of enabling the UEFI/BIOS stuff I needed for the upgrade. Then I found out what they did to the taskbar and decided not to get it.

Seriously, the Taskbar shit has me considering going to Linux for even my gaming pc, especially since they've said they have no intention of fixing it. So stupid to get rid of such a common customization just so you can see their fancy start menu.

If you dont play competitive multiplayer, Steam Deck's version of Linux runs damn near every game at this point

I use "StartIsBack" it's so good. Makes the taskbar exactly how I want it (it's customisable). I've got it functioning closer to Windows 7 but with the look of 11 but still keeping it thin. Well worth the money. Shame it required a third party app for me to really like 11 though.

The Windows 11 version is called StartAllBack and makes Windows 11 much better. Annoyed I had to pay for an upgrade but it was worth it

That might be the one I have, I think I just remembered it as startisback
