    Project mention: Windows XP 2024 Edition is everything I want from a new OS | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-01-07

    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/

  • ValliStart

    A start menu to replace the un-customizable one that you have right now.
