@lxo I'd suggest losing the "Vista" part. After #Win7, #Win8, #Win8.1, #Win10, people have forgotten how miserable #WinVista was and tagging that name onto their current version name doesn't convince people to abandon Microsoft land.
I tried to tell Schestowitz this years ago, but he was still doing the "Vista 10" thing last I looked.

I do see some of this already, in the sense that there are people who complain that something is missing from their desktop, but if you open the desktop folder in Windows Explorer, there are so many items there that some things get pushed off the screen.
But search-centric interfaces ... that's part of what made #Win8 so bad. Windows search is astonishingly bad and slow as well, so when Windows 8 tried to force it on users, they were understandably hostile.
But if you get used to redownloading the same photos and videos because your device's search cannot find the previous files, I guess SCI can sort of "work" for you.

My "off the top of my head" guess is that this update required that the original user (the one that can elevate privileges to do administration)'s account be named "Owner", so it created a temporary profile under that name.
Why do I say this? Because I remember an update for #Win10 Home that created a similar problem if your original login was not named "Owner". Certain updates (e.g., from #Win8 or #Win8.1 to Win10) could not even be performed until the account was renamed.
(NOTE: Question is from 2020.)

There’s a chance that I’ll replace #NixOS with #Kubuntu 20.04 LTS. The K is important. I dislike GNOME almost as much as I disliked #WinVista and #Win8.
