I am pure linux for personal use and mac for work but:

Good. One of the biggest problems Windows has had for the past decade or so is having like three different versions of every menu and needing to figure out which one let you do what you want. Consolidate that shit

They already had that shit consolidated. It's called "Control Panel" and has been around for forty years.

Honest question as I only use Windows every once and a while. Can you get to that disk management thing from the Control Panel? The one that looks like gparted.

[–] downpunxx@fedia.io 9 points 3 months ago

right click start, left click disk management

[–] purplemonkeymad@programming.dev 8 points 3 months ago

Yep, depending on the version it was under either administrative tools or system tools option in control panel. It's now also in the menu when you right click the start button.

And for twenty or so years they have added features that aren't in there. Hence the problem.

So unless you have a time machine, the answer is to consolidate.
