I tried KDE recently b/c that new Nordic theme is beautiful. But setting it up was a major pain, and there’s apparently dconf-like utility that can export the settings into a save file. Went back to gnome afterwards.



You don't need to export your settings because they're already files in ~/.config.


Some are, not all, and they're spread out across multiple config files. dconf by comparison puts them all into a single file, and provides import/export functionality that updates the UI without a restart.


I meant “… apparently no dconf-like utility…”
