Microsoft is turning Windows 11's Start Menu into an advertisement delivery system

• ExplorerPatcher

  358 11,116 9.1 C

  This project aims to enhance the working environment on Windows

  Add in Explorer Patcher and it's a good experience. (It removes the WIN 11 startmenu button)

• hardened_malloc

  254 899 2.6 C

  Hardened allocator designed for modern systems. It has integration into Android's Bionic libc and can be used externally with musl and glibc as a dynamic library for use on other Linux-based platforms. It will gain more portability / integration over time.

  

  I think a pixel running GrapheneOS is the closest thing we have to a sane, user-respecting option right now.

• lutris

  374 6,144 9.5 Python

  Lutris desktop client in Python / PyGObject

  

  If you don't use Steam, then there's a utility called Lutris that can handle installing and configuring a bunch of games for you outside of Steam. My personal experience is that on Pop!_OS (the most dead simple and easy Linux distribution I've found) Steam is the better way to go, as Lutris doesn't always work for me.

  This tool might help, though, even this is more complicated than two or three clicks so I get it.

  9 116 4.8 Shell

  I'm running Steam Headless and living with the drawbacks. I'd rather figure out how to run games on linux than install Windows, even in a VM. I don't need ads and refuse to give Microsoft any money, anymore.
