How to disable control center in big sur?

As the title already says, how can I disable the control center? It is distracting and doesn't really look any good. It remembers me of these medieval times of Windows, when we had that Teletubbie OS.


Thanks in advance!

I like it clean as well; but I usually just ignore the icons in the menu bar except for the date which I need to check occasionally or my keyboard battery status. And we were talking about the menu bar, right (?) because I've not seen a game icon (but then I don't use any). I wouldn't know the Launchpad behavior because I do not use it - ever.

Notification Center can be put on Do Not Disturb, and individual items have no popup generated through notifications.

After testing the Control Center, it is pretty bullet proof. Unix hacks can't get rid of it with even concerted efforts short of really messing with the stability of the system. As I say, you can in Apple menu -> System Preferences -> Dock and Menubar disable some items, but not the control center itself. Looks like if you really want it optional, http://www.apple.com/feedback will need to be prompted.
