    I mean… fuck that noise.

    But also? That is actually a really good idea. The start menu was always fundamentally flawed and it took the bullshit that was windows 7 (?) to make me realize that. Clicking and navigating through nested menus and trying to guess whether a piece of software was listed by company, the app name, or something else was always a mess. Which is why winkey “dawn of war” was the optimal solution.

    And as third party app stores (e.g. Steam) may or may not even bother to make a start menu entry to begin with? Having something that can search your computer AND distinguish between “the document that lists what primes I need to farm” and “the Warframe game itself” is a really good idea.

    But yeah… I do not want “AI” based shit in an OS that is known to have a crapton of telemetry that gets toggled back on every time it silently runs an update.

        between pinned items in start menu and on the taskbar, putting quicklaunch back and populating it, and a few desktop shortcuts… i maybe ‘search’ for an application like that once a year, at most.

          You mean you stick with slower mouse actions vs just fast keyboard actions?
