It's bonkers that the "Start Screen Saver when inactive" setting doesn't reside within the Screen Saver tab in System Settings

@simonbs the whole new MacOS “system settings” (ugh) seems designed by a monkey on drugs jumping on a mechanical keyboard. I’m sorry for the poor Apple engineers that were tasked with this, and I wonder in which conditions they had to rush-code a whole new system preferences app that is complex enough for MacOS and as similar as possible to iOS.

@simonbs Isn't that option relevant only to lock screen? 🤔

(I would be surprised if not, but who knows with the new Settings app 🤷‍♂️)

@kkolakowski I was watching TV in my computer when my screen saver started so I had to disable it. Didn’t expect to find it under Lock Screen.

@simonbs Ok so that's indeed broken in that case 😅😉

@kkolakowski @simonbs worth a modern approach, this setting could be located at both sections.

@simonbs Someone will read this and if you are lucky make that option appear in both screens 🤣
