[GNC] Copying settings, layout, and colors to another computer

[Adrien Monteleone]

I’ve encountered this use case before, though it was always on OS upgrades or transitions when distro hopping.

I have sometimes wanted to migrate my data and my desired configs without carrying over configs from no longer used apps, thus trimming cruft for a *fresh* start.

It might also be a case of two different users on two different machines, but wanting the config to be the same. They may or may not edit the same data file. (not simultaneously of course)


Regards,
Adrien

You know such data HAS to be in your user directory tree because multiple users are supported. So as long as the entire user directory is copied, you should be all set.
