I love you LibreOffice but please stop opening your Excel program when I type “Cal” into the start menu hahaha
(I heavily recommend OpenShell on any Windows 10/11 machines. It makes everything look soooo much better, is hella customizable, removes the horrible garbage search that sucks ass and replaces it with good fast Windows 7 style search, and soooo much more. W10/11 start menu is unusable without it, it’s a mess.)
