Just to be the devil’s advocate here: There are way more settings now than back then. That interface wouldn’t cut it either.
Comment on Windows Is Adding AI Agents That Can Change Your Settings
smeenz@lemmy.nz 3 weeks agoThe last time finding settings in Windows was straight forward was Windows 95. Since the stupid dumbed down ‘settings’ app was vomited upon us, it has been nearly impossible to find the thing you know is there but has now been renamed and removed and isn’t indexed in the settings app search bar.

The problem isn’t the new coat of paint - it’s more that Microsoft keeps painting half the building then starting over for the new OS. It’s frustrating that the key to finding a setting is knowing when it was developed to know which UI you need to be digging through.

Even on 11 hit winkey+r then type in CONTROL

Not convinced the number matter as much if settings are indexed and thus searchable.

The registry never has and never will be. Windows is rotten to the core.

Have you tried to configure gnome beyond what is offered in its GUI ?

The reasoning I moved from Windows to Linux was this right here.
If I’m going to be fighting with Windows anyway, because of the registry giving me issues, then the drawback of “but Linux hard! You have to configure things!” was moot.

No, I’m a happy i3wm user.
