Why don't you just use control panel?

I never use the windows settings menu unless I absolutely have to because, like you insinuated, it's really not that great.

Control panel on the other hand is still there and will get you exactly where you need much quicker.

i find the best solution to this problem is to install linux

[–] skizzles@lemmy.ml 2 points 11 months ago

Yeah, my primary is Kubuntu. I have windows on the side for the few games I have that I need it for.

It's definitely looking like a possibility. I do my work on Linux machines but only use win for games. If I can play my main community games it might be time to make the switch for good

if you dont play games that use anticheat you're probs okay.

most everything else either works with proton out the box or with some small tweaks.

protondb is the best resource for linux gaming imo

You can also just search "network" and the screen they want is either the first or second result. I rarely ever go into any kinds of settings menus anymore, i just search on the start menu.

Why are the settings for a single device spread across multiple sections of the OS though?

[–] MrScottyTay@sh.itjust.works 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Because windows 11 is an updated version of windows 19 and windows 10 is an updated version of windows 7/8.1.

Each one of them has had holdovers of previous versions of windows. And each one has tried to bring in a new standard to bring them all together but they've always moved on to the next standard before finishing it. Windows 11 has actually came the closest but we're not there yet and because it's actively replaced old methods of doing things in this process it feels more fractured than before because we're not used to looking in the new places for them.

I feel like making important changes was easiest with XP. It feels like they're trying to obscure administrative functions behind layers of abstraction.
