    I didn’t think you could still get decent custom shells on Windows these days. What do you use?

    What I do still have on my one Windows machine I need for a (staunchly annoying Windows only) company I do work for is a launcher program that I have been using for well over a decade. Super resource light and simple. I just don’t use the start menu at all.

      I use Revision from revi.cc

      Basic start menu, fewer notifications, lots of options. There’s a slider to disable windows updates, but they still get through sometimes

        It looks like what they offer isn’t a shell per se, but a playbook. Which is fine and all, probably far more viable than a true shell replacement due to Microsoft’s shitty shenanigans. If I still used Windows for a personal machine I’d be all about this. I’m worried it would interfere with the corporate garbage I have to deal with.
