I can make my CPU usage jump from next to nothing as it sits on the desktop not doing anything, to 100% usage by just shaking my mouse around like a maniac. 😤
Oops I pit my mouse in the bottom left now its loading 50 web pages filled with ads under the guise of being a widget
I have heard that Classic Shell is once again functional under Windows 11, but it was critically broken and thoroughly unusable for too long for me, and I have since moved on to StartIsBack, which can do almost everything I found essential with Classic Shell.

Can someone explain what "react native" is?
It's a javascript app that uses the react library - which is an open source library originated by Meta. It's supposed to be easier to maintain and port cross platform apps. However it is not as efficient as a native app and given the Start menu is so frequently used it's probably not a very efficient way to program it (or parts of it - I think the start menu has reactive native components rather than entirely made in it).

Can I replace Windows with SteamOS directly yet? -Basic Win11 user who is getting sick of Win11. Get off my WinXpLawn
You can definitely replace it with Linux Mint, I did it 8 months ago and it was seamless, save for a little bit of fussing with my GPU driver.
