VPN’s work fine, system level ad blockers, FF can be about:config’d same as in Windows. The minimal install is nice, we just add the packages we want and it all works great.

Do the kiddies moving stuff out of Control Panel have an attention span sufficient to understand what to move? IDK. Descriptions are nebulous, keeping with the “Experience” school of cryptic writing. Settings is badly organized and getting even worse. It’s a giant board game you never totally remember how to play. That Stupid Gear Thing leads you here and there to page after page of poorly described settings in gigantic fonts with some of the telemetry junk way down at the bottom, easily missed unless you keep the scroll bar visible to remind you to read the whole page ((setting for that is in Ease of Access (Accessibility), something most users don’t need, cute!)) As noted by Yuliya, no multiple instances get lost and all one can do is click the little house and start over. Information about computer names, domain and workgroup settings appears to be missing on the Settings page on the other hand (apart from device name).Ĭontrol Panel opens most applets on top of Control Panel so when an applet is closed you’re back to where you started. It reveals information about the installed processor and RAM, the architecture, and support for pen and touch. The Settings application displays core system information just like the Control Panel System applet does. And donâ€™t worryâ€”if youâ€™re looking for more advanced controls that lived in the System page in Control Panel, you can still get to them from the modern About page if you need them!

We are also bringing new improvements like making your device information copyable and streamlining the security information shown. Links that would open the System page in Control Panel will now direct you to About in Settings. Links that opened the System applet in the past do now open the About page of the Settings application. In this particular build, Microsoft redirects the System Control Panel applet to Settings > System > About. Microsoft notes in the blog post that it is continuing its work to bring Control Panel capabilities to the Settings application.
