Honestly, I do this too. At work I have windows so it makes it easier for muscle memory when switching between the two.

Out local co-ordinator of our city Linux User Group stated recently in a virtual meeting I attended "Without wishing to sound like a religious Zealot, Windows 11 was 'stolen' from Linux". At previous meetings I was informed that Linux has been stolen and used as far back as Windows 7. What you are seeing happen at Microsoft are two ex-Canonical (Ubuntu) employees, weaving Ubuntu/Gnome/KDE into the Windows OS. What is farcical is that Windows is copyrighted. I don't expect they will ever mention the GPL licence like Netgear used to indicate in respect of their Wireless dongles!

Ah, that's explain the slick look of Win11!
Thanks for this information.
I have been running Win 11 on the unsupported pre-EFI laptop just to see how long I could beat MS for its hardware checking 
I think I am a born hacker

I should be a bit more clearer - the two ex-Canonical employees were responsible for the design of Windows 8 and the Charms bar - something akin to the hot corners that Pear Linux had. I do remember in some Linux forums that the Bootloader for Windows 7 was from Linux.

I did experiment with KDE and that has Windows 11 themes:

Way I look at it nothing has changed at M$! Bill is still up to his old games...he stole more than once before. I look forward to getting to know the Linux way much better so I can not be part of M$ foolery anymore.

Linux FX did the same with 10 after Win 10 - the downside, like Makulu Linux is that Linux FX is very Google-centric

I was going to say... gates stole windows from Apple and merged it with dos... so this isn't new. With so many free and open source projects you don't think they steal? Ms was and always will be about that.
Just like the windows tester agreement, now win 11 requires you to give them access to your drives, history, browsing habits, cookies and if they need it, remote control of your pc... to use it... I'll never touch windows in my machines again. Win 10 was bad enough.

I also never enabled TPM 
I just do not tust 'em.

Or rpc remote procedure call:
rpc is what makes Windows vulnerable to attack - as told by an IT Technician where I worked many years ago.

Look up the use agreement and read it for yourself. It's a bunch of legal speak, but clearly states it in the first few paragraphs.

I was looking for a link for you, but there seems to be nothing linked on the web....I've hit like 15 sites already. It's very similar to the insider agreement. I can give you that from my email...but I'd rather give you the actual win11 EULA

Could you explain the procedure? Thanks!
Ok no more needed, I managed to do it myself and I love the result. Dash to panel and arcmenu are incredibly customizable! Thanks for sharing
