PowerToys Run > Start Menu

To my surprise, I even recently discovered that PowerToys is open-source, even though it's made by Microsoft. It really drastically improves the terrible Windows experience. Thankfully I don't have to use Windows at all anymore, but if I had to, PowerToys would be the first thing I'd install.

On Linux (KDE) I enjoy using KRunner

I use ruTorrent, pretty happy with it

If you want something fancy, check out Seal or YTDLnis. I simply use yt-dlp in a Termux session.

NewPipe and forks of it like Tubular also have a download feature.

Depends on your desktop environment. HDR works just fine in KDE.

Looks like they still haven't learned their lesson from the Windows 8 days...

This reminds me of the time when they broke the ability to disable the god damn Windows 10 lockscreen from the registry. Like why??? What the actual fuck is the reasoning behind this microsoft?!?!? You're actually paying people to put in the work and make the user experience worse for absolutely no reason, while not even benefitting from it in any way??? This is one of the reasons I will never touch any of this proprietary Microsoft garbage again and strictly use FOSS software, which actually respects the user.

They really just should have used ActivityPub

Pressing Alt + F4 on the desktop brings up the Shutdown menu. You can fully navigate it using the keyboard. Back in my Windows times I found this more convenient than using the start menu.

We're anarchists, we don't have a king, we strongly oppose centralized power in the hands of one powerful leader

That kind of usage should be fine, it doesn't really matter. Just wouldn't use it for my primary mobile device.

Stay away from both Fairphone and /e/OS/Murena. Fairphone fails hardware security in the most miserable way, and fundamentally breaks Android Verified Boot, while /e/OS is based on the highly insecure LineageOS, and it further rolls back security, while also repeatedly missing important security patches.

Also, 600 dollars is absolutely not cheap for a smartphone, and it's especially not with it considering that both the hardware and software are highly insecure.

A Pixel can be purchased for much less, while being superior in every way.
