The #windows start menu has shifted. It used to be a tool for you to organize your system. Now, it's still that, but it's also a way for MS to force their garbage into your computer. However, there are some great ways to take back control of your start menu.
We are going to look at the three big start menu replacements: #open-shell, #shart11, and #startallback. Check out the video and let me know which one you like best?

0:21 Sorry to rant here, but I'm actually really fed up with this trend that countless companies have been following the last several years: companies deciding that they're going to just flat-out ignore what the customer wants and instead will DECIDE for the customer. No longer does a business have the attitude of: "What are customers demanding? What do they want? Okay, let's give that to them." Now it's just: "Nah, you guys don't know what you want. We're gonna give you this instead. Yeah, we know you didn't ask for that and most of you actually hate this. But this is what you're getting. You're gonna like it, don't worry about it." Countless companies are like this now and it really needs to end. End rant. I apologize.

@teksyndicate 3 месяца назад

If you look at the timeline, I think companies were always kinda like this, but didn't have as many crafty ideas or a clear means to do so. That, plus the focus has shifted over the years from delivering the best product to harvesting the most user data and forcing people to use certain things. So yeah... rant all you like.

@Ryftrr 3 месяца назад

@@teksyndicate i think you hit the nail on the head- Microsoft would have done this type of thing two decades ago had they known a way to automate bloat based on harvested user data the way they do now. I think the exponential creep of invasive and manipulative adverstising in the digital space is to blame. Ever since current giants like Facebook and Google began to profit off of pushing ads everywhere they could on their sites, it became an arms race to see how much they could earn from offering corporate monoliths more and more ways to market their products as aggressively as possible, because when you make all of your profit from the marketers running ads in your site, you don't need a **satisfied** customer base, you just need a large one. And when you get big enough, you don't need to worry about competition if you can artificially influence your customers to stay with you. For big business, the end goal has always been profit; if you don't have to provide a good product/service to make that desired bottom line, why put in the extra effort to make something good when the money is still there? Minimum effort : maximum reward, late stage exploitative capitalism at its finest.

I'm partial to Open Shell. Started with Classic Shell years ago. then when the developer of Classic turned it over to the new team and they rebranded it as Open Shell I stayed with it. The main reason I have stuck with Open Shell is that I can save a current setup as am XML file and load it to another computer and be up and running in seconds. That comes in extremely handy when you support as many Non Prophets as I do (as a volunteer) and have older volunteers that can't figure out the Fisher Price Start MS ships with 8, 10, or 11. Greatly reduces the amount of support calls., plus it's free.

I have been using Startback10 (The Windows 10 version of Startallback) for a few years now. I got my daughter Startallback for her laptop. I always forget I even use it and when I go to a vanilla Windows 10 or 11 install I always have my mind blown thinking that's what the majority of people use. When I do finally upgrade my Windows (probably when 12 comes out) I'll look into any upgrades to Open-Shell. I love customization and I wish Windows would just copy KDE Plasma already.

I just may un-rollback to Eleven. I rolled back from Eleven no less than six times, since Eleven escaped from the pits of Hell. I keep going back to Ten. With these options I think I will give Eleven a try again.

Every time I installed Eleven, I'd die a little inside.

I personally use StartAllBack, in fact I switched from OpenShell (which I started using as Classic Shell back at the dawn of Microsoft's inaugural dumpster fire UX shift that came with the dreaded Windows 8) OpenShell is also very very nice but I prefer StartAllBack's GUI and the way it fixes Explorer and the Taskbar instead- the "segmented" taskbar is one of my favorite options, in fact I was doing something similar with my DE's taskbar on Linux before I learned of StartAllBack from a TekSyndicate video several years ago. Thanks for doing these vids, this is the holy grail of Windows PC videos for IT gods and power users

@multiversehacking Месяц назад

I might be in a minority, but the deal-breaker in W11 vs W10 for me, was that I put my taskbar on the right. It's much more efficient to go back and forth from side to top (for Windows task bar to app menus) vs. bottom to top. I think StartAllBack is the only one that offers this side taskbar, but could be wrong.

I am not willing to pay money towards Microdog. Maybe I switch to Linux soon. My parents run Linux on their machines, but I game sometimes and don't want the hassle of some games not running. This issue won't be relevant much longer and then I will transition to Linux and be happy. I hope to spare myself from the AI lunacy woven into the next Windows. I still run Windows 10, but how long am I going to ditch AI feature on Windows? Let's assume they also push some on Windows 11 users. I would be forced to transition next years.

I'm curious how often you actually use the Start Menu? When I was on Windows, I pinned all my frequent programs to the task and really had no reason to ever open the Start Menu.

A relic from the past, if you will.

I installed the flatpack that comes with wine, but my js panels don't work at all... and getting it to read music from my nas was not fun to say the least. The last major thing, is that I tinker with games... I mod them, fix old games to work on ultrawide or modern games to work on a CRT, etc. This stuff is nearly impossible on Linux.

Then why are you watching a video about Windows? I'm on Linux MX now (daily driver since January) but still appreciate these Windows customization videos.

@@teksyndicate Arc Menu. It has quite a few layouts built-in that cover everything from Windows 98/2000 through 11, as well as Plasma and Budgie menus. I also use an old school microsoft logo for the icon to complete the nostalgic vibe.
