Which is a disaster, since you need to go through the step of exporting it to a file.

I suggest that instead of complaining that Linux isn't Windows, you learn how Linux (indeed, most *nix platforms) do things instead, and try to understand why they are done that way.


Certainly more complex than opening and reading/writing from a text file. And the registry isn't human readable without using the registry editor or first exporting to a .reg file.

Linux is not Windows. It is really that simple.
