Thanks. My win11 install is coming up. Looks like I may need this. Bookmarked

There are more ways to make Windows suck less, even open source ones: https://feddit.de/comment/7447632 Of course, pick whatever is best for you, but FOSS is ultimately safer (and free!).

It has had such a massive positive effect on my life relative to the price.

If it's not a link to an Ubuntu LiveCD, I'm leaving Lemmy

Come on people I'm joking. You can unclench your butthills

Ditch Ubuntu too. Mint or OpenSuse are very good alternatives.

Not to mention sweet mother Debian.

With how they keep shoving snaps at everyone? At my work a migration to Debian is starting to be openly pondered.

gnome is pushing flatpacks. the official gnome distro is immutable.

i like debian. i like gnome. i don't like this trend.

I almost never interact with desktop Linux. That's a horrifying trend.

Not open source. Use:

  • Open Shell
    • brings a normal Start Menu back as well as an optional taskbar in Explorer
  • Explorer Patcher
    • revives Explorer's "commented-out code", bringing back functionality from previous Windows versions: optionally translucent taskbar without blur, seconds display in calendar popup, optionally the weather widget and many many more
  • CTT winutil
    • installs/updates various free programs for you with one click, one-stop-shop for all kinds of recommended debloat/freedom settings
  • MSEdge Redirect
    • self-explanatory: all Bing queries from within the OS apps go to your preferred search engine & default browser instead
