Even the windows 10 startmenu didn't suck if you took the time to customize it - The Metro tiles were nice, with grouping and folders making everything pretty neat and reducing the need for the standard program list to a minimum; I made mine 3 columns wide, which made pretty much every app i regularly needed available on the fly, using horizontal space that's much more available than vertical one.
I just use OpenShell to make all of my Windows 10 machines’ Start menus into Windows 7 start menus hahaha. It even fixes search!
I haven't any windows machines left (at least physical), and i'm pretty comfortable with KDE Plasma, although i'm sure i could make my start menu nicer. Damn, now i have to look into it lol
haha tell me how it goes (if you do, im curious cuz im a newbie)
From memory I think it was 8.1 that introduced the right click menu. Everything you ever want to do with the start menu in one right click menu. No apps, just shortcuts to the terminal, shutdown/sleep, settings, etc. I never used the start menu again except by accident (or when hitting the windows key to search).
