Let the apologists have a field day in the comments.
You ever try to put together a GUI? I absolutely get why they look like crap! Although I have been having fun playing around with egui.

Here's one:
Audio jacks. I have a 5.1 system, and to use it properly I have to install HDAJackRetask. You can't just specify 5.1 surround sound from the distro's standard audio settings menu.
Pavuctl still is kind of mandatory to have with most DEs (you should be able to set the proper audio profile in it for 5.1?). Amusingly even on Pipewire systems.
Especially weird to see on Gnome. Audio Settings are rather meh, you still can't even set how the background is displayed since Gnome 3 either (centered, stretched, fit etc. - unless you know about the "optimizations" app) β¦but look at our new "Wellbeing" feature! π¦Ά

Not entirely accurate since the majority of Linux system settings are in fact GUI settings, you forget the Linux under the hood is all pure text based meaning it's just GUI settings and worse GUI settings.

I'd give my left nut to have a GUI for managing the icons in the GNOME dock. Like, where is the binary for this icon? Can I edit this .desktop file from the right click menu, please? FML.
