Windows XP 2024 Edition is everything I want from a new OS
I'm using Win10 Pro, and I have no ads, no problems with unwanted apps, a sane start menu, and I run almost all non-ms software on top so microsoft's incompetence there is a nonissue. I can also replicate this on win11 but I don't see a reason to upgrade.
The way there is fairly simple, actually:
OOSU Shutup10: this removes pretty much all the annoyances. https://www.oo-software.com/en/shutup10
Classicshell: Microsoft is never going to make a start menu that doesn't suck again, but others will. http://www.classicshell.net/
Everything search: classicshell comes with a pretty decent windows search replacement, but you should use this instead. It is so, so fast. https://www.voidtools.com/
- Windows 11 has made the “clean Windows install” an oxymoron

How can I make Windows 10 look EXACTLY like windows 7 (literally 1 to 1)? If there isnt a way, how can I run modern programs designed for windows 10 in windows 7 (I refer something that can help you run modern things in windows 7)
Check http://www.classicshell.net/ I'm using that since Windows 8.1 till now in Win 10, still works pertfectly even on low end laptops!

I've managed to get Windows XP running on my modern pc, and I've soon realized there are no drivers for it 😀😑
There are third party apps for doing so: http://www.classicshell.net/ http://www.classicstartmenu.com/

Two sides of people not being able to upgrade to Windows 11
Let me tell you a secret. There's something called Classic Shell, and you can reskin your GUI of your task bar and start menu to fit your preference. It keeps me sane.

best start menu?
I've been using this since I switched to windows 10.http://www.classicshell.net it actually shows what you have on your drives instead of bing searches XD
- The time has come, and it’s worse than I imagined.

IMO, Windows is just fine with Classic Shell. I don't know how people get by without it since Windows 8.

Sparkle: A software update framework for macOS
Also, as a different approach, to some degree Ferdium can act as a central place for various messaging platforms even if the integration that Pidgin (and Adium) and libPurple provided is not possible this way. Station is similar and a bit better but is in desperate need of developers. Both are FLOSS.

Is there a place to suggest software you'd like to be on the AUR? If not, let it be here!
I've moved on to Ferdium by the way via the ferdium-electron AUR package. I also use Tuta, Skiff, Google Messages and YouTube Music with it.
