Steam Desktop Client Update, Now with working hardware acceleration on linux!
i mean, steam still uses vgui where it doesn't use html/css/js right? i don't think i'd call it a leftover when it's the same exact code with a new coat of paint (or an old coat of paint)

Two sides of people not being able to upgrade to Windows 11
Finally, to get a decent start menu and context menu back Explorer patcher and Shell work wonders. There is also Open shell if you want that classic Windows 7-10 look, but personally I think it looks dated in comparison. The Win11 start menu looks fine, it's just missing core functionality.

Open-Shell-Menu is a collection of utilities that can return some of your favorite features to newer versions of Windows. Revel in the glory of classic-style features like a Start menu for Win 7, 8 & 10; tool and status bars for Windows Explorer; title and status bars for Internet Explorer.
