I’m surprised after all these years that someone hasn’t made a better “control panel” for those things. I mean, not everyone likes editing config files.

OpenSuse has YAST and KDE plasma does a good job of gui configuration for itself it’s just that such options literally do not exist. The closest I could get was using plasma and a script that would update other panels to match the main one which is really janky. Gnome with dash to panel did a bit better with mirroring, but it started to wrap icons way way to early, and it didn’t seem changeable as it was an issue with how it works fundamentally.

I wish someone would just settle on something and put a crap ton of work into the GUI. Even if it wasn’t perfect, it would be a lot better than it is. I mean, macOS 10 years ago is still demolishing Linux.
