Nice, love to see more alternatives in this space. I’m currently using GlazeWM, which provides an i3-like experience on Windows. To the ones saying ‘just switch to Linux’, I used Linux full-time for many years but switched back to use Windows-only software, and a tiling WM and a package manager like Scoop goes a long way in making it more bearable.

I see. I don’t believe there’s currently any way to filter kiosk content by type like that. You could open a feature request for it on GitHub if you’d like (assuming one doesn’t already exist).

Hide the ‘Shorts’ channel tab:
Settings > Content > Channel tabs > Uncheck 'Shorts'

Hide shorts in feed/subscriptions:
Settings > Content > Fetch channel tabs > Uncheck 'Shorts'
