I was very pessimistic regarding Windows 11 and the direction #Microsoft is taking with its operating system. They seem to hate power-users as much as they hate security. Well, is there anything we can do? Maybe. The community backlash has turned into community projects. There are now more ways to customize Windows 11… and there will be more and more as time goes on. Let’s post some links:
First, if you are sick on Windows, I totally understand. Here’s a couple Linux distros that I’d recommend:
openSuse: www.opensuse.org/
Manjaro: manjaro.org/
Alternative File Explorers for Windows 10 and Windows 11:
Files File Manager: files.community/
OneCommander: onecommander.com/
A better taskbar (hide the Windows taskbar first): RetroBar: www.deviantart.com/madhale/art/RetroBar-Dark-Modes-Windows-95-2000-XP-Etc-1053142400
Dark Mode themes I made for RetroBar: www.deviantart.com/madhale/art/RetroBar-Dark-Modes-Windows-95-2000-XP-Etc-1053142400
OR If you want a more MAC OS look and feel, try TaskbarXI:
github.com/ChrisAnd1998/TaskbarXI?tab=readme-ov-file
Complete Shell Replacement: Cairo Shell: cairoshell.com/
ExplorerPatcher: github.com/valinet/ExplorerPatcher
I will probably do a video on Windhawk once we get better Windows 11 support (it works but the latest Windows updates break things):
