To be honest, it is quite complicated now as well with all of the proprietary software(sh.itjust.works)

Agreed. It’s much nicer to see your wallpaper than a mess of mismatched icons that may need to be occasionally clicked.

Same here. I don’t need icons, just press Win and type in the program. I just gotta pray for Windows to not open Edge and search in Bing.

If you’re using Windows, you can get a much better experience by ditching the Microsoft start menu entirely.

Everything Search to index files and Flow Launcher for searching files and applications. You can even make it open when you press the windows key.

Or if you still want a start menu, Start11 is worth paying for to get away from Microsoft’s ad-ridden crapware they call the start menu. It even supports using Everything for showing file results.

Flow Launcher seems pretty cool. I’ll try it out. Thanks!

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of “peasantry” to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can’t quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
