    Yeah, it’s the Start Menu in Windows 11 (though I think the same kind of thing will happen on Windows 10 too)

      Thanks. I use Windows so little I didn’t at all recognise it. And my KDE start menu has had this functionality for a really long time but actually works properly lol so doubly confused if I was looking at a KDE menu themed in a weird way.

        I use Windows so little

        I’m jealous. I would bin Windows in a heartbeat if VR worked properly on Linux (among other things).

          Sorry I can’t help with that! I don’t have any VR so I’m only know of its Linux status in a vague way. No doubt it’s coming. Valve has really done a stellar job of building on Wine to get things more compatible. Hopefully now that Linux gaming has surpassed Mac gaming numbers, game devs and publishers will actually start supporting the Linux community better, including VR.

        I’ve tried it, but I’m not really a fan of the older style Start Menu design-wise.

        The mismatch between the old design and the style of Win11 just rubs me the wrong way. It’s like when you use an old application and the file open menu is the tree-style one with no option to enter a path.

        If MS just replaced the Start Menu with PowerToys Run I would be so happy. The design fits and it’s actually functional.
