Scrollbars Are Becoming a Problem
The only solution I've found for addressing this in any meaningful way is AltSnap[0], which lets me avoid needing to find window borders for any resizing or moving operations.

Can't use ALT+right mouse button in Remmina to resize windows
I run Sway and use Remmina to remote to my Windows 10 machine at work. On my Windows 10 PC I have AltSnap installed so I can use ALT+left mouse to move the windows and ALT+right mouse to resize them.

How to make windows' borders 'magnetic' such they snap to each other?
Pretty much only possible with 3rd party tools. https://windhawk.net/mods/slick-window-arrangement https://github.com/RamonUnch/AltSnap

I cant believe Microsoft hasn't improved these fundamental features over the last 5 years! Search/explorer still the same! (or worse)
For resizing you can try AltSnap (available through Scoop as well) - it mimics what's available by default in Gnome and some other DEs on GNU/Linux and it's pretty useful once you get used to it - you basically hold down a key while left/right clicking the mouse to move/resize a window that you point over (and all the precision you need is to point at one of the four quarters of the window).

Windows 11 Start menu ads are now rolling out to everyone
I've been very happy happy with https://github.com/Open-Shell/Open-Shell-Menu as a Start Menu replacement. If ads have rolled out to my Windows install, I wouldn't even notice.
- Why does part of the Windows 98 Setup program look older than the rest?

Windows XP 2024 Edition is everything I want from a new OS
Whenever I set up a new computer for older family members, despite it being windows 11, I always install open shell[1] and retro bar[2]. Between the two, I've made the operating system look very close to Windows XP visually, and they always appreciate it.

Ask HN: How do you “clean” Windows from all bloatware?
I use Open Shell (fork of Classic Shell) as a replacement to original Start Menu. This gives me full control over what appears in start menu - no results from internet, animated tiles, etc (I am on Win 10 though, from what I read the Win 11 is supported, but not yet officially [1]). It could be a solution to the ads appearing in start menu.

I missed the old windows so i tried to recreate it
Looks like you're going for an XP theme. May I suggest using open-shell to skin the taskbar, start menu, and start button if you wanna take that extra step? You can also find the taskbar skin and start button here. Also, I would remove the search bar, task view button, and news & interest area of the taskbar just to bring things together. This is all just a suggestion, you don't have to if you don't want to.
