I've read that windows 11 uses react (a JavaScript view framework) for parts of the UI, and that seems insane to me. JavaScript isn't a great language. It's popular because it runs in the browser. The windows desktop is not a browser.

Win11 start menu is a react native component.

Users report that clicking the Start button can spike CPU usage by 30% to 70% on at least one core, depending on the hardware configuration. The issue doesn't occur consistently across all systems, with some users noting it happens in about 50% of clicks.

I hate the auto-hide feature of the start menu. It doesn't work right. I started using Bazzite/KDE, and it's done correctly there.
