I kind of like what Windows 7 😖 did in their Control Panel.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Control_Panel_(Windows)#/media/File:Windows_Control_Panel.png

The common actions are easily accessible, and the less common ones are 
hidden behind just a few “Advanced” clicks.

And everything is searchable too. The current GNOME Settings search 
only seems to only consider panel names and descriptions, which is far 
from adequate. Try searching “Output Device” – you will get “No 
results found”. Something like full-text search similar to one 
Firefox has in its preferences might be nicer and allow us to merge the 
two configuration applications.
