    I phrased that very poorly. I’ll edit the above to clarify.

    I meant that the Windows Control Panel was always a half-assed solution in comparison to what OSX and Linux DEs do with proper settings manager applications.

    On Linux DEs, a settings manager like Settings in OSX is usually present, and it is a far better solution.

      Fair enough. And I didn’t mean it as a slight. Just genuinely curious about what a unified Linux Control Panel might have been like.

      This is not to say that the Gnome and KDE (or Plasma) panels (f. ex.) don’t have their varied and myriad shortcomings, but that’s another discussion.
