During Inkscape Summit 2025 - Nuremberg, I sit together with some Inkscape developers to discuss possibilities about a new preferences panel.
We went through the whole settings list, and did a "card sorting like" activity, discussing where each thing should live in the new panel.
This is the result of the design work I did after that.
If you want to join the discussion, here's the issue in Gitlab:
