The only way I can use WIndows 10 and 11 is with open shell installed. The built-in menu is completely dysfunctional. No shortcuts to my computer, or printers, or the control panel. The search bar doesn't work and can't find files that I know exist and can browse to in windows explorer. Whoever made this doesn't have a clue how to make a functional user interface. It's completely broken and useless.

Windows UI peaked with Windows 7. I don't care if the backend works better in 10 or 11. I would still be using 7 if I wasn't forced to upgrade to use Steam and play the latest games.

XP was their last truly robust OS, it could run on almost anything and had such minimal requirements.

Windows 7 was the dream that they wanted to deliver with Vista. Win 7 was definitely their last top tier OS, especially when it came to games.

Once they remake XP as a Linux distro I'll be happy. Untill then I'm forced to use win 10 ltsc iot to keep my computer running as it is safely. Maybe SteamOS will become a good desktop distro in the future instead, thatd be nice too.
