Check it out, in March, we showed you what the new design of Windows 10 could look like.
The post comments show both praise and criticism. After all, design changes that closely resemble Linux distributions are shown.
Now the Microsoft design team on their official Twitter account illustrates what the new Windows 10 Start Menu might look like. Yes, it looks like what we showed in the conceptual design from March.
Regardless, it is still unclear whether features such as Live Tiles (dynamic tiles) will remain after the new design arrives, but the official post already assures us that what was just a concept, could arrive for everyone in one of the next feature updates. from Windows 10.
Microsoft's design team for Windows 10 showed off a clip in the post in question that highlights the evolution of the Windows 10 Start menu since its inception. Most interesting, from a user perspective, is that the company provides an overview of the redesigned Start menu that it plans to introduce in an upcoming update.

— Microsoft Design (@MicrosoftDesign) April 6, 2020The Start menu differs greatly from the one used in current versions of Windows 10. The changes include a wider list of apps and changes to tiles, where titles are not displayed in medium-sized tiles, for example.
Most user comments are positive and, at least on Twitter, I haven't seen anyone mentioning Linux, at least not until now. Those who criticized Windows 10's new Start menu design didn't like the removal of text labels and that Microsoft needs to ensure that other standard tools on the system match the design. To make the experience more harmonious.
It's unclear whether removing titles is optional, perhaps it is. Bringing in tiles without their respective names could cause some confusion when it comes to identifying the apps, especially if the apps use similar icons.
Users can still identify apps by hovering over the tile or switching to large tiles, or important apps. As far as dynamic tiles are concerned, they are still showing in the new design as several apps are shown with dynamic content in the redesigned Start menu.
What did you think of these design changes for Windows 10? Don't forget to comment.
