The way you want

Question

I came across a sentence from my Engish textbook

"you're unable to use your free time the way you want"

I found the underlined part quite awkward.

1.

"the way you want" is an adverbial clause?

Is it common to use 'the way S +V' , used independently from the S+V sentence?

Then, please give me more examples.

2.

"the way you want" is an "adverbial relative clause"

Then, could it be interchangable with "how you want" or "the way how you want"?
