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.
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.
