Dear Microsoft. Here is a list of things I want the Start Menu to do:
* Show my installed programs
* Search my local files
* Provide access to system settings
Here is a list of things I do *not* want the Start Menu to do:
* Show the weather for a randomly-selected town near my network's public IP infrastructure
* Show tabloid headlines
* Show programs I *don't* have installed
* Search the web via Bing
* Show adverts(!)
* Attempt to engage me in conversation with a hallucinating LLM
Thanks.
@ghalfacree If I make it do all these things, will you switch back to Windows?
@matt
No, but it'd be much less annoying when I do have to use it.
Oh, but you'll have to change it in the underlying OS, not just by installing OpenShell: when I'm on Windows, it's almost certainly because I'm using someone else's computer.
@ghalfacree Well, I work at Microsoft. And I'll be working on Windows soon. So, I will be changing things in the actual OS. I hope. 😅
Let's hope the first thing is to let me move the taskbar to a side, Ubuntu style. Having it on the bottom on my wide, low res laptop is really not an option.
