    Interesting design but I’ve literally never used the start menu for the past 5 years I think. I only ever press the windows key and then type the name of the app I need.

      PowerToys Run > Start Menu

      To my surprise, I even recently discovered that PowerToys is open-source, even though it’s made by Microsoft. It really drastically improves the terrible Windows experience. Thankfully I don’t have to use Windows at all anymore, but if I had to, PowerToys would be the first thing I’d install.

      On Linux (KDE) I enjoy using KRunner

          There are other good (open-source) options like Flow Launcher (GitHub)
