This is the start menu experience:

"Photoshop"

*Wait 15 seconds *

"Here are some results from bing:"

Mac and Linux it's instant, and not some garbage AI/ads/web search results.

Lol I installed open shell several years ago and have not looked back since. If I wanted to search the web with your shitty search engine, microsoft, I would have opened your shitty browser, now please sit down.

Probably shouldn't have installed it on my work computer for security compliance reasons but it's such an improvement in my workflow that I couldn't not install it. Highly recommend. Legit cannot imagine using windows without it anymore. https://github.com/Open-Shell/Open-Shell-Menu

I have no idea why it breaks like this so often too. And it's such a pain in the ass to try to fix that I've generally given up on trying. At least when something very rarely happens with the indexer on Linux I know where to look to fix it.
