I have a Stardock Object Desktop license. I've used their Start10, but I've bee
n using Classic Shell, which is free (though I think they take donations). I'm n
ot sure if Classic Shell has been updated to support Windows 11 properly.. I'm u
sing it in Windows 11, but I have both the Classic Shell button and the Windows
11 Start Menu button. I should check to see if Classic Shell has been updated.

Weird.. I haven't had that issue. Stardock does a yearly license though, and o
ne thing I don't like is paying a recurring license fee. But you can continue t
o use it after your license expires, but without getting any updates.

What do you mean by "pure Linux"?
