And half the time you’ll find it in the registry too. Linux has proven quite well that an OS doesn’t need a registry.

Oh, and what’s with ProgramData and AppData being two completely different things. I understand the difference between the two directories, but there is no difference between a program and an app. Everywhere else it’s Machine/User.

Gnomes dconf would like to have a word with you. It’s really interesting how the Gnome people seem to get rid of every useful feature as it might confuse the user or be complex, but on the other hand add this registry-like anti-feature to make the system just as unmanageable as Windows.

Funny thing is, most 3rd-party utility tools don’t use registry but a config. Which makes them portable, btw.
