That's fine when you want a setting that exists in the settings app. Let me know if you find a place to adjust your audio device speaker configuration, or toggle live monitoring of an audio input.

Or set up your IrDA driver for a dongle that it does not really recognize.

Settings was utterly useless for this. Long live the control panel!

It's not really fine, though. It's much more sparse on information, and the animations slow you down because buttons are not clickable until the animation ended. And then there's when the menu gets populated in chunks through a few seconds, don't even try to click the button because it will jump away and you'll click something else. No, this is not on an old machine: Ryzen system with SSD.
