    Ok. Now, change the audio bit rate in the GUI? You can try any Linux you like.

    The Lack of functions in the GUI to configure Hardware devices is a serious problem for Linux. You can’t Configure anything on your AMD graphics card, set sleep timeout of you wireless game controller, or enable HDR.

    I’m currently having a good time in Arch but I’m frustrated that GUI controls for basic stuff is still missing. Most of this stuff has been in Windows for decades.

    Rather focusing on the how customisable the desktop environment is, they need to focus on making Hardware configuration easier.

      Agreed. When I went home to put on some music to bang your mom too, it took me like 20 minutes to adjust to the optimal audio bit rate. It totally killed the mood.
