If you couldnt find it in the control panel before, you sure as shit cant find it now.

Oh you've tried this new AI Agent that can change the settings for you, have you?

Bullshit to all those points.

Which points are "bullshit"? That they're slowly moving everything out of the control panel to the settings app? This is literally what they've been telling us they're doing, and what we've seen them do.

That they still have the control panel? Nope, not bullshit, it's still there.

That being able to ask Copilot to change a setting would be helpful? How is that bullshit?

I do NOT need voice activation

Good thing it's not MANDATORY then. You can keep using your mouse and keyboard. Also you don't have to use your VOICE for copilot - it's much easier to use the mouse and keyboard. That's how most people use it.

Also, they’ve been “slowly” transitioning for over two years, wtf? We waiting for the next OS at this point?

This stuff takes time unfortunately. If they change everything at once they get even more anger and pushback. This way it's just a slow and easy move away from the control panel - 1 thing here, 2 things there, and before you know it hey look! Everything is in the settings app now!

Oh good mum joke big fella! So clever and badarse.

Ah Christ. We’ve collectively regressed so much in computer knowledge that people can’t even find a settings menu? Even I have trouble believing that one.

The 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 moved, and isn't even indexed in the settings app search bar.

What is “half baked dog shit” about it?

The fact that they're moving things over slowly instead of just fucking finishing it before they deploy it all at once. They've been doing this since Windows 10 came out, they have a trillion dollars. There's no excuse to have it be half assed for so long especially considering "Settings" isn't even an improvement.

What was easier to find in the control panel than it is in settings?

Literally everything? You don't have to click through 14 different menus to drill down to what you're looking for. It's all on one window in Control Panel. Just look at Devices and Printers in Control Panel vs. Devices in settings or Programs and Features vs. Apps and features the newer versions have far less information available at a glance.

You’ve never actually used windows 11, have you?

I use it every day on my work PC. It runs like ass.

"Hey Copilot. Delete yourself, Recall and all other bloatware from my system. Thank you."

Holy shit.

Your ux SUCKS SO MUCH, that instead of making it not shitty.....

You developed AI for it?

Are you fucking kidding me

How inept are these developers

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

They broke alt tab.

That's how fucking inept they are

In what way?

Multiple ways

• there was an update that meant alt-tab brought you a black screen
• there was another one that meant it didn't tab between the two most recent windows, but brought up a selection. They tried to tout this as a feature you had to turn off

So one is a bug, and another is a feature I actually use everyday. Did you mean the selection prevents you from quickly changing between recent windows? I don't remember it actually slowing down my switching at all.
