This misses the point to an extent that it is honestly kind of insulting. I am aware of how to manage settings, that is not hard or interesting. KLVTZ suggested reverting to defaults on a regular (~annual) basis. I pointed out how changes to my desktop environment are disruptive, regardless of the reason (OS version bumps or revert-to-default). Settings do not change fundamental OS behavior. I can't set my notifications in Big Sur to "Catalina".
