If you are sticking to Windows 10 because it has fewer annoyances than Windows 11, especially in the Start menu, we have bad news for you.

    God damnit. I have a W10 drive left because SteamVR is still a little clunky on Debian.

    I really hope valve comes out with a new release of SteamOS for desktops, the Steam Deck version is damned near flawless.

      There’s been a lot of positive buzz about Bazzite.

        I’ll have to look again, I thought it was abandoned.

        It won’t make them any more money so it’s not like there is a financial incentive for them, but they do occasionally do things just because they aren’t assholes.

            Ditto, a purpose built gaming OS would be worth the price of avoiding Windows.

        A steam deck beta update from the past week or two that they were working on adding support for the ROG Ally. The verge asked valve about it, and they confirmed they’re actively working on making it support other handheld PCs.

            Right, I would just assume bringing it to other handhelds is the first step in it having universal hardware support.

      OpenShell is your friend then. I haven’t seen the Windows 8 or 10 menu in years except when using the text launcher to start OpenShell after I closed it.

        In 7 and 8 I really liked the Gnome-like ability to just type the first few letters of a program and hit enter. OpenShell looks like I’m not the only one.
