I helped a family member with their Windows PC a few days ago and, omg, I hate using Windows. It’s so bloated and unintuitive. It’s a mess, and it seems to get worse every time I use it.
One of the reasons I switched was just being sick of dealing with Windows issues, the time spent troubleshooting, having to constantly tinker. And despite all the users out there, the frequency of hitting a dead end and just having to deal with it was common enough.
So after yet another Windows-fuelled rage and four glasses of wine, “Fuck it! I’ll see what everyone’s raving about…”
I literally wanted to argue with top level comment about the fact that in Linux everything is fucking disconnected and a lot of placement makes some sense from technical PoV but sure as hell not from “I dunno what I’m doin” PoV.
But then this comment snapped me out of it. Control Panel in Windows is no more. I forgot as I still default to it on Win 10. They fucked up one of the most important parts of why Windows was better for green folk. :<
Control Panel still exists. It’s one of the several windows that you use to configure the computer. The settings app still hasn’t implemented everything from control panel, so you have to jump back into it occasionally.

An hour later…
how’s Fisher price walled garden doing?
Edit: it sounded like they switched to Mac, that’s what the insult was.
The hell are you on about?
They appear to be lost.
It’s probably the Antifa’s fault
Don’t do drugs, kids.
Well, not this many.
It’s layers and layers of configuration screens, all ducktaped to each other.
It’s not even ducttape.
It’s that paper masking tape that falls apart if you sneeze on it.

The settings app for gnome is pretty centralized and discoverable. There’s not much customization option, but it’s fine for normal users.
