I run PCLinuxOS. I would highly recommend you give it a spin.
OH MY, I just looked at the Doz11 menu for the first time, that's horrid

They constantly try to reinvent the wheel when the cascading menu style that started in Win98 was close to perfect.
JMHO

OUCH, I can only see that becoming a huge mess over time.
Does he use a impact driver at all? I had access to a air tools selection although often the on-the-clock mechanic needed them so I used the hammer impact driver for tough stuff and it works if one does not fear it. I used to make my own folders for everything at root level down and not even bother with the local account...Lol.. Too stubborn to read the manual at the time....lolOUCH, I can only see that becoming a huge mess over time.
The search function still works when things are properly sort into folders.
YMMV LOL
But I do understand what your saying, they're trying to find a better way for the Joe Sixpack that has never understood or been willing
to learn how, to properly organize all their Docs, Pictures, etc into a organized folders. I run into it all the time when getting called over by a friend
to help him find something he's lost. "Joe, what was the name of the file?, Ahhh" "Joe Where did you save it? AHHH" LOL
Like any other tool in the world, a computer has a proper way to use it.
I've forever been trying to teach Joe not to use the side of his Snap-On Swivel ratchet as a hammer and still see them in pieces on his garage floor.
I do wish you could move the taskbar to the top of the screen. @restorer-john cued me into the idea being more efficient. Took about 2 weeks to get used to it and it is the best place for it. Cannot do that in Win 11 however. I must say after 3 days on Win 11 I find it the best Windows yet. Always people complaining with each release about how the previous one was better. And some complaints have some merit. So far this is the overall best version by far in my opinion. Even if it makes me keep the taskbar at the bottom.I trained myself to stop sorting e-mail into folders, leave everything in the inbox (or archived inbox) and use the search function instead over 20 years ago. Part of Microsoft's rationale for the Windows 11 'Start Experience' is similar in that testing showed that people would find apps more quickly and consistently via search, rather than hunting through hierarchical menus.
However, I don't think the payback is a great with the Start Menu as it was with my inbox (I must have saved myself from several 'man months' of sorting e-mails by now
I've tried to force myself to use the Power Toys Run feature (activated with ALT + SPACE) which works well (see below), but it's been impossible for me to overcome the muscle memory of reaching for the mouse and clicking on the Start button - once a WIMP, always a WIMP guess

I have left the Start button in the new location in the middle of my screen as this really does make a lot of sense on an ultrawide monitor and saves a lot of mouse miles!
The only thing worse than helping find "important" files is people's inability to know what their passwords are. I so hope passkeys quickly become the common way to do things. Already a few stores using them.OUCH, I can only see that becoming a huge mess over time.

We can do that on Linux, top, L or R side, auto hide, whatever floats my boat. LOL
Yes which is where I first did it. You could do it in previous versions of Windows as well. I think in MacOS you can put it anywhere except the top though I might be wrong about that.
So this is in StarDock Start11 app. I'll check it out. Thanks.
How did you do it? There was a registry hack, but the most recent updates stopped that from working I've read. I haven't found anywhere in the GUI menus that let you move it to the top.
That is what I read, that 22H2 killed it. You can do the hack, and it works, until you restart your machine and it resets itself. I am on 22H2.

Been using this for months, you can put the taskbar where you want even on the sides:
