Ironic that Windows has become the same way.

Not at all. Windows might take a while to get it but they do eventually get it. Linux never does.

Ironic #2 is that Pop_OS comes with more settings available in the GUI than any other Linux I have used.

Any of the ones that I mentioned?

To say no distro can fix is nonsense.

I didn't say they can't, I said they won't.

Just like it has taken Microsoft over a decade to develop the new settings app, they still haven't achieved feature parity with the control panel. This should make obvious how much hard work is required.

I just attribute that to a lack of fucks given. No way the largest company in the world can't figure out how to do that.

Yes, literally everything you mentioned can be changed in the gui of pop_os. You should really try it before being so confidently incorrect. It's not a matter of won't because they already did. They are making improvements all the time.

My research indicates otherwise. Maybe you can show me?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Your research obviously does not include installing pop_os. The settings are in what you would call on Windows the "system tray". The menu in the corner. You have some quick settings there, which includes the power profile. Then you can open the full settings app which has everything. Just go look for yourself.

I'm not wiping my hard drive just to check if some settings exist.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

Nobody said anything about wiping a hard drive. This isn't rocket surgery. You can live boot from any old USB media laying around. (If having a second hard drive is too much to ask)
