    Really. My start menu has been nagging me “To show your recent files and new apps, turn them on in Settings.” since the day I installed Windows 11. Why would I want the start menu randomly changing? I wish you could just turn the section off completely instead of breaking it and making it smaller.

    Everybody hates Windows 8 but the Windows UI peaked at 8.1.

      Agreed 8 gave me a headache but 8.1 was probably my favorite. Oh well at least we still have Linux, about to switch, is Fedora a good place to start?

        yes. being on fedora for last five years, no complaints whatsoever, but i did ditch the nvidia for amd to spare myself the neverending story of nvidia and linux.

          That won’t be an issue I’m already on a 6950 XT, it’s in all my AMD system so I think I should be okay device compatibility wise.

        Fedora is good for servers and corporate environments, Mint is good for a familiar desktop, Ubuntu is good for mac users.

        Fedora is a great first distro! I do recommend looking at the GNOME ui, as it’s what Fedora (and vanilla Ubuntu) use; I really like GNOME but it’s not for everyone as it’s pretty opinionated and innovative. Linux Mint is another popular choice for newcomers, it uses a very simple UI that will be very familiar to any Windows user.
