I have a Stardock Object Desktop license.  I've used their Start10, but I've been using Classic Shell, which is free (though I think they take donations). I'm not sure if Classic Shell has been updated to support Windows 11 properly.. I'm using 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 one thing I don't like is paying a recurring license fee.  But you can continue to use it after your license expires, but without getting any updates.

What do you mean by "pure Linux"?
