The software maker will use the Recommended section of the Start menu, which usually shows file recommendations, to suggest apps from the Microsoft Store.

they really are trying to fuck themselves over, aren't they?

i'm gonna switch as soon as game devs realize linux needs anticheat support.

and i know a lot of people who don't care what operating system they run as long as they can use their web browser on it.

Do any windows users remember in like 2019 when they had the offline search in the start menu that was such a beast? It could find anything inside the contents of any document on the computer almost instantaneously, use booleans, search metadata and everything. We had no idea at the time that was peak start menu. It's all been downhill.
