Why does the start menu need to change locations...

The INFINITELY bigger question is why isn't it my choice? I actually just modified my windows 10 to have the start menu be centered, but like, it should just be completely customizable to your liking... as if it were your own computer or something. If I wanted everything locked down and baby proofed I would have just bought a Mac.

Oh fuck yeah gimme that customization and personalization options

I used to use a program on one of my computers called rainmeter I think, and it allowed me to customize my desktop to look like the Animus menus from Assassin's creed 2. Then decided to go with hexagons everywhere, with the replacement start menu dead center screen and other buttons areayed out from there.

Haven't used it in many years, but I'd love that level of customization* on a pc nowadays. It seems like no matter where I go, every UI looks the same. Good for familiarity, not so much for "oh this is neat, they made it their own" factor.

*without learning entire programming languages, I hyperfixate on things but programming has never been something I've been able to get into

Switch to Linux. KDE is pretty easy to customize out of the box. There's other DEs that can have more or less, harder or easier options too, but KDE is probably the best moving from Windows.

It is your choice, and you can customize it to be on the left.
