Ironic that Windows has become the same way. New functionality is available first as a Powershell command before the GUI control is written. This is because those are two efforts. First you write the function then you need to call the function from a GUI element.
Ironic #2 is that Pop_OS comes with more settings available in the GUI than any other Linux I have used. Maybe you haven’t tried it.
To say no distro can fix is nonsense. Any distro can make new GUI elements and because it’s open source once the work is done other distros can add the same to their own menus.
Just like it has taken Microsoft over a decade to develop the new settings app, they still haven’t achieved feature parity with the control panel. This should make obvious how much hard work is required.
So the solution is that we just need to write more GUI menus for linux and I’m fine with that. It’s nice to have the option to use a menu or edit the text file. Then everyone gets what they want.
Not at all. Windows might take a while to get it but they do eventually get it. Linux never does.

Any of the ones that I mentioned?

I didn’t say they can’t, I said they won’t.

I just attribute that to a lack of fucks given. No way the largest company in the world can’t figure out how to do that.
Yes, literally everything you mentioned can be changed in the gui of pop_os. You should really try it before being so confidently incorrect. It’s not a matter of won’t because they already did. They are making improvements all the time.
Your research obviously does not include installing pop_os. The settings are in what you would call on Windows the “system tray”. The menu in the corner. You have some quick settings there, which includes the power profile. Then you can open the full settings app which has everything. Just go look for yourself.
Nobody said anything about wiping a hard drive. This isn’t rocket surgery. You can live boot from any old USB media laying around. (If having a second hard drive is too much to ask)

My research indicates otherwise. Maybe you can show me?

I’m not wiping my hard drive just to check if some settings exist.
