Linux path to user settings

dwlamb · 07-23-2013, 11:34 AM

Good day all,

I am migrating to a new pc and want to take my user settings with me. I have looked and can not find an article on the web for where these settings exist in Linux.

Can someone direct me to an article or the appropriate path?

Under edit, preferences, there is a button for preferences folder on my Windows machine, and assume there should be on your Linux box.

it is in (dot) .config

Yep, there certainly is that button. Now if I just thought to go there first.

There are so many useful features now it is hard to remember them, let alone remember to use them.(grin) An embarrassment of riches is one of the few problems I don't mind dealing with!
