I don’t even remember the difference between LocalLow, Local, and Roaming anymore. I looked it up some time back, but it didn’t exactly help me find what I was looking for.

Article summary:
Linux: Do this.
Apple: Do this.
Windows: Conspicuously absent.
Config state is an absolute shitshow on windows. Is this application’s config in $APPDATA/local? Roaming? The registry? Under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE? USERS? In its own folder in Program Files, oh Program Files(x86)? Maybe it’s just in a folder in $USER.
Gives me the shits.
Article is good though, just wanted to vent.

All I know is that the stuff in roaming generally follows you around on domain logins. So if you’re bouncing around on corporate computers with the same standard set of apps installed, if they save their settings in roaming they can retrieve them anywhere you log in.

Interesting. I always was annoyed that the computers at my workplace don’t transfer my settings between machines, but it may be a blessing in disguise with respect to the login times.

Shit like this just contributes to this overall messy feeling I have on Windows. For many reasons I can’t get off the OS, but man every time I use Linux (for servers/my personal laptop/etc.) it just feels so clean in comparison.
