I'm curious, which settings app layout do you prefer? (lemmy.ml)

The image on the right is how the settings app look on macOS 12. On macOS 13 (2022) it was changed to look more to the one on the left, with all the sections selectable in a sidebar and a smaller window. Many users have complained about it, saying that it sacrificed function for form and is part of making macOS more like iOS by mindlessly copying phone UIs onto computers which it isn't meant for. I think its alright, not terrible. And it's the norm with settings apps looking like that in Windows, KDE, Gnome, and some other DEs.

One on the right. I have never used this iteration of the macOS settings (started using it with macOS 13) but I have used Plasma Settings' icon view and Windows Control Panel and I prefer them by a lot.

I think Plasma's would be better if it was a normal expandable tree view on the left instead of the weird expanding panels it has going on, though. That used to be a thing in KDE 4 I think.
