That's what I like. But you do you.

When I installed Win8 in 2012 (the intro $40 upgrade, since I had Win7
it was in-place, but it could do a clean install on top of Vista and
XP, too, albeit many of those machines didn't have the hardware to run
8), the first thing I did was put Classic Shell on for the start menu,
and then it kept the 9x through 7 general UI.  10 restored the start
menu concept, but oddly, 11 really improves upon it.  But to be
honest, Cinnamon's start menu is virtually as good, and alleviates
running the bloat of recent Win11 builds (the initial release of 11
wasn't substantially different in that way than the then-current 10,
but that sure changed in a hurry, thanks M$).

Amendment XIV
Section 1.

[...] No state shall make or enforce any law which shall
abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the
United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of
life, liberty, or property, without due process of law;
nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal
protection of the laws.

Dobbs rewrites this, it is invalid precedent.  States are
liable for denying needed abortions, e.g. TX.
