Have you considered Linux?

It's arguably worse there. You got regular settings + GNOME Tweaks + a bunch of settings that can only be changed via CLI or some .ini file.

Also: which desktop? At least you can install multiple desktops and switch at login.

FWIW, I like Cinnamon best, but I also like KDE and XFCE (plus, XFCE works especially well over remote desktops and inside virtual machines). I've never cared for later versions of GNOME and ran away screaming.

That's a fair assessment. I'm in the process of moving to Linux because I find windows 11 to be so incredibly awful. I'm using Ubuntu and it's been mostly a good transition, but learning a new operating system does have a learning curve for me.
