I could probably tolerate Windows 11 if:

  • the start menu search didn’t search the web and just searched my system.
  • the widget panel wasn’t just a wrapper for their shitty news aggregator that seems to only gather celebrity news
  • If I have windows pro, I don’t want notifications to use Edge or see TikTok, Amazon, Candycrush, etc. in the start menu (I know they aren’t downloaded but what “pro” wants any of that shit)

I used a regedit to fix the web search part of it. Starallback is what I use to fix the rest of it. After that, it's almost like I'm using Windows 10.

Changing audio output does still take an extra click compared to before, but I've just been dealing with that.
