With the release of macOS Ventura, the System Preferences application has been replaced with the System Settings application.

Along with this change, a number of previously-known commands for opening individual System Preferences preference panes from the command line no longer work with System Settings.

However, it looks like the underlying command line functionality wasn’t changed by Apple. You just need to know what the new options are to enter. For more details, please see below the jump.

I’ve put together a list of the ones I’ve found to work, which is available below. Find any more? Please let me know in the comments:
