All I care about with the start button is the search function. If this didn't fuck with that, sure.

Hell maybe the search function will actually be working as intended. Don't show me shit from the websearch before you make sure there's no software with that name on the system!
I disabled that realy quickly... If I wanted to search the Web I would use a browser. I can only recomment that, it speeds up search a lot and it now actualy works as one would expect
Hmm, frankly I didn't even know that Microsoft allows that to be disabled.
Time to experiment with Linux again. Still haven't settled on a distro that I liked 100%.
TBH you don't have to find the perfect distro - just one that is better than the BS Microsoft peddles. And that gets easier and easier.
This might just be the push I need to switch to Linux desktop.
Do it. With proton the last argument for me to use windows is gone (gaming).
Can you run Adobe software via proton? As soon as that works I'll be on Linux.
No, but there are better alternatives to adobe that don’t hog your ram harder then triple a games
Depends one what you need to do, there are some areas in which adobe still has a monopoly
Look at your usecase, if it really requires adobe suite, you are out of luck i'm afraid. Perhaps you could research running a VM or wine, but I havent tried any of that myself.
If you conclude that you dont need features exclusive to adobe you might be able to find a foss alternative.
I need Lightroom and I've tried Darktable but it just doesn't cut it.
I love this idea. The reason people continue using Windows is because they're used to it. Messing with the Start button is going to piss off even the most patient users. Not to mention it'll be an absolute nightmare for any IT department. Just imagine an army of Karens calling your hotline first thing on Monday morning, yelling at you because you took away the Start button. It'll make Windows 8 look like a huge success.
Lmfao! They think I'm going to buy another windows OS?
if you buy a new non-mac laptop you probably will, whether you want to or not
I recently ordered one from Lenovo and you could select no os for -100 Euro.
Like why would I pay them 100 for a windows plus extra bloat, when I can get a windows for like 30 from somewhere else.
But also imma try a Linux
that's the only major manufacturer I've heard of that has ever tried to do this
I think you could get some dells with Linux, but the price didn't go down
