You’re no editor
As a new Windows escapee, I’m finding the switch to be a little confusing, though easier than I expected. I was digging around my Debian desktop and couldn’t seem to find anything like the Windows Registry editor. I came across the dconf editor – is that the same thing? It seems to offer the same features.

The advantage Microsoft has with Windows is that it’s the sole arbitrator over development, so it can say, “Hey, this is the central store for all configuration data,” and – boom – it happens. So, a single Registry editor is possible for Windows. The open source Linux ecosystem is far more tricky. The dconf editor is, in fact, the Gnome desktop’s configuration editor. It lets you tweak all the various Gnome tools, but it’s only relevant to the Gnome desktop. All the other system settings – such as to Cinnamon if you switch desktops – are controlled differently. You could theoretically create a project to handle all of these but it would be a monumental effort to implement and maintain, and those efforts are better used elsewhere!
