Just why? Why do people like sed-ing shit that can go wrong if someone fucks up the config in some unexpected way instead of doing it properly with registry like windows since the 90s and proper methods to set shit in the registry configs that will eat anything you feed them with 100% reliability and no need to learn 20 pages sed manual.
The registry is literally a database file somewhere on the hard drive.
>and proper methods to set shit in the registry configs that will eat anything you feed them with 100% reliability
Someone never used the WinAPI to modify registry entries I see.

thats the same as saying mysql is just a file somewhere on the hard drive or a hash table is just a space allocated in the memory. retarded.
Oh look, it's another I-am-too-incompetent-to-use-X-so-I-create-a-thread-to-find-others-who-are-equal-incompetent-and-will-agree-with-me-thread.
Even Microsoft thinks you're retarded.

mysql is just a file, with a fancy interface to it, just like the windows regisrty

Chef, Ansible, Salt, Puppet, learn one.
I love configs in files. Makes it very easy and simple to configure shit. Plus they're usually very well documented (within the file) so if it's an application or daemon you've never used before it's easy to get it going.

dumb tripfag go fuck yourself
How does it make more sense to create an entire pseudo-filesystem for configuration files alone? How is a centralized directory any more convoluted than that?

don't forget to change HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/EnableSmallIconSpacing to 0x00000001 to enable your icons being closer together. or you could open this .reg file from coolwindowstips.blogspot . com but it will fuck everything up

default configuration file comes with all options listed and explained
gooey saves and reads from a plaintext configuration file

conf file you have to create uself and read through manuals to get it just right
