After mulling over it for close to 14 years, it seems Microsoft is finally ready to kill off the Windows Control Panel soon. An official confirmation has been posted on its website.

      You literally can’t.

      There’s a ton of stuff you can’t do with the new garbage settings.

      Let’s not even mention that on an operating system called “Windows” you can only have one “window” of settings open. And opening new settings will just replace where you just where. Which is extremely rage inducing.

        I don’t use windows super often anymore, so I don’t really have that usecase, but man. Just imagining it makes me annoyed and angry

            I’m pretty positive on mac OS, as an OS it’s technically quite good, but their preferences app has always been atrocious almost entirely for this reason, I want to have two preferences windows open to different pages please…

              I hear you. I have always been a power user so I was pretty shocked when you could not open two file managers at once in OSX.

              The thing about Apple devices is they work great, as long as you do it they way they want.

                You can have multiple finder windows in OSX, thats perfectly normal, but you cant have the network settings open next to the printer settings.

                  Well that was not the case with the last time I used OSX. You click on finder and it would not open a second window. This is not how Windows or Gnome/Kwin work.
