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
I have power toys insalled and I love it for a lot of its features, but I never got used to using the run menu.
There are other good (open-source) options like Flow Launcher (GitHub)
Not even that,I have like 5-10 programs I use regularly and I have those pinned. Only knew they changed that thing due to postings here on Lemmy.
