10’s “Settings” sucks - it’s slower to load than CP, it looks like an autistic person designed the layout, and it’s missing basic functionality.
I’m slowly working on transitioning to Linux.
It pains me to say this, but if you're looking to move to Linux, don't do it because of loss of Control Panel. IMO the Linux control dialogs and apps (at least in Ubuntu) aren't much better than the Win10 Settings stuff, probably because they're trying to aim somewhere between Win10 and MacOS for look and feel.
I've said it a hundred times before, but again.... Give me the Windows 2000 desktop UI, with Linux underneath, and I'll be happy forever.
First thing I do with a fresh Windows machine is brain-damage the UI as far back toward Win2K as I can.
First thing I do with a fresh Linux machine is install Gnome "Flashback/Metacity" so it looks like 2012.
it's not just windows ...
it's modern software in general ...
especially newer websites ...
However, there are free alternations to CP, plus see the over 200 tweaks available in the safe freeware Ultimate Windows Tweaker 4 for Windows 10. https://www.thewindowsclub.com/list-of-tweaks-available-in-uwt4 See also the list of Winaero Tweaker features
Thank God for such. And I have found Linux deficient in the breadth of easy customization without learning a lot of coding.
Yeah, I think it’s time to go to Linux. Ican put that on my Windows laptop, right?
