That's the same desktop that I'm using daily. I've been running this rig for over 4 years now and it is still going great. Typing on it right now. (Running Ubuntu 22.04.3LTS -- RDP to win 10 machines for work).
Good luck!

After a couple hours of searching and playing with alternatives, I went with StartAllBack. It can do left and right, and it is the only program I found that allows the old folder-interface that allows the easiest access to your programs. It isn't as nice as Start10 was, since the folder interface is below the main part of the window, and must be expanded from root, but at least it is there.

Rotate your monitor and use it in portrait mode.
Then your taskbar, at the bottom, with run along the shorter edge and you'll still have a ton more stuff visible vertically.
That's not how my primary monitor is set up, but it works rather nicely with my secondary one.

although your suggestion is good, having to rotate your monitor to adapt to stupidity from MS is satirical.

That's a good way to describe it. 
I would NOT rotate my monitor if the sole reason was that MS won't let you move the taskbar to its side. It definitely has its use.

I feel the pain too when I read that this was being removed, last week. Have had my task bar on the left for years and enjoy it - it feels like less distance to travel with the mouse when flipping between many open apps/windows. I think this is because I have the habit of putting the mouse off to the right side of the screen to get the cursor out of my way. Maybe I will have to change to putting it at the bottom.
I use shortcut key combos to as much as I can since this is the fastest vs mousing, but alt-tabbing through your windows when you have many apps open is still slower than mouse clicking on the app in the taskbar.

I read somewhere MS is working on the new/old feature, and will support moving taskbar to left/right side in future again.

there have to be smart people working at MS right? I just shake my head in wonder.... I get they want to support other devices, but there is no fathomable reason to limit other users...

I bought a collection of ancient books named as below. what kind of languages are these book titles?
3. Algorithmvs demonstratvs, by an unknown author, (1534)
4. Almagestü Cl. Ptolemei, by Venetijs, P. Liechtenstein, (1515)

First one is latin. 2nd could be in any number of languages. Original is Greek but was translated over the centuries in many languages. The reference to Liechtenstein might point to German, but how knows.

Update: Solved it and am way ahead of the curve.
I recently accepted a tentative contract (contingent on a successful round of funding) to develop some stuff for embedded.
I'm using a newer STM32 offering to do so, and I've run head first into a limitation of STM32CubeIDE and the makefiles it generates. It wants to put all my arrays into DTCM ram instead of SRAM. I only have 128KB of the former, which isn't enough to drive all the devices I have to drive.
I want to put the arrays in the latter and to do so I'm told I need to generate custom .ld linker scripts which for starters I've never had to do before, and secondly i think it will blow a nuclear sized hole in my workflow.
I've got to figure this out before Tuesday, and I'm not feeling good about it.

Follow the source? Who told you that? Who do they know that told them? I'd keep going down that trail as hard as possible until someone turns up that can show you an example script. Good luck!

I already figured it out. It doesn't matter who told me.. I misunderstood you. Sorry. I found an example. It matters that the information is correct. It was.

Yes, unless you can use a variable attribute, the linker script (as ugly as its syntax is) is usually the way.

I didn't realize Cube already made one for me. I just didn't see it. It was easy enough to edit.

Is it possible for you to use the Flexible Memory Controller feature in the project?

I don't know if you can map the .bss segment to it, but I couldn't say for sure. Maybe you can with STM32s. They've got some pretty wild hardware support.
Anyway, I solved the problem. Cube was creating an .ld file in my root project folder and I just wasn't seeing it. Soon as I edited, problem solved.

Tell me if I'm wrong but the only thing bss segment does is zero out the area and this is done as part of the startup.

It's the area where all uninitialized data gets placed. Things like arrays.
