Hello everyone,

Since I’m kinda disappointed with the features windows 11 has, do you have any app to recommend that will improve my experience in any way ? Thanks!

    Aside from the usual install Linux lol (mostly a joke), it would be helpful to know what in particular you’re unhappy with?

      For some reason, I have high CPU load while not doing any intense stuff and not a lot of background apps. So I wanna find a way to fix that. Also, start menu is boring and kinda useless and generally, it feels incomplete. So maybe some tweaking apps that can make stuff prettier/more useful

        You can debloat your installation and disable services you don’t need. It will still be windows though, which stutters even on high end hardware

            There’s Win11 Debloat, I’d recommend using that in combination to ShutUp10 (yes, it also works on win11). I always debloat first, then use ShutUp10

            If you wanna go even further do those 2 things on a fresh Windows 10 LTSC installation (You’d need to use this debloater instead though)

            Disabling services manually shouldn’t be necessary anymore depending on the debloat options you used

            I might be beating a dead horse here but doing all of that stilll makes Windows an overall worse experience than using Linux (stuttering all the time, random part of the OS swallowing ressources for no reason, having to reinstall every 6 months because windows is kind of a ticking timebomb etc.)

        Yes I notized that too. Installed Fedora Kinoite on that friends laptop, works perfectly.

        Honestly, Win11 is just not well made. Maybe it is performant on fast systems like if the mininum requirements are met, but overall just no.

        And rpm-ostree updates are so much more stable and still way faster and completely uninteruptive.

        Apart from that

        • BulkCrapUninstaller
        • Christitus Winutil (has a script to remove Edge)
        • DoNotSpy11 (the original registry editing antispy thing, ShutUp10 was literally stolen from it)

        But there is so much, bloated webapps, everything preinstalling itself, autoupdating bullshit, stub apps that want to load an update giving them modern features but slowing them down like hell (yes you, notepad).

        Their filemanager has tabs now, wow. It still sucks in comparison to Dolphin, same with their horrible archive extraction menu and much more. KDE Plasma is so much better.

    1. Open Microsoft Store from your Windows 11 Start menu.

    2. Locate Ubuntu.

    3. Install Ubuntu.

    4. Now you have a proper OS. Enjoy!
