Windows 11, Start button menu, make it show all apps by default

The best solution to all your problems unfortunately requires a lot of time to learn and change. But it is possible. I also had a Windows 11 upgrade forced on me this night. At first I thought, "Well, I'll give it a try".

However, I'm not happy because of the very reason you're complaining about here and the constraints Microsoft is putting on us.

I am a bit deeper in the Linux matter and therefore use "Manjaro".

For beginners I recommend "Linux Mint".

However, I would recommend that you familiarize yourself with the Bash (Like Microsoft CMD/Powershell).

Like this:

- learn the basic Bash commands

- learn the package manager of your Linux

  distribution

- check if there are Linux versions of the

  programs you use

- install Steam and create an account at

  Valve (to use Proton for all other Windows

  programs)

If you have an Nvidia graphics chip, it can lead to high CPU loads with multimedia. The driver installation is also a bit more difficult. Nvidia is unfortunately a bit sloppy. But it gets better from year to year.

EVERYTHING AFTER THAT IS EXPERIENCE.

You can still use Windows on the side. I will try the next few days to get rid of Windows completely. With Linux I can expect costly interruptions in time. Microsoft Windows forces me to stay awake at night purely by chance.
