Even MS themselves don’t want to deal with it anymore. Can’t blame them

Is the registry actually being phased out?

Of course not, we need to be able to store the huge amount of detailed settings in a OS somewhere.

Linux does with .conf files and directories which is kinda the same thing.

GNOME has their own version of a registry, unfortunately.

dconf is way easier than Windows Registry though. I've only ever had to touch it to enable pre-release settings.

in a registry though? maybe the registry in windows is so hard to work with and automate that it is the reason that Linux took all of windows market share for computers that do work (everything but desktops)

??? Ms never had a large server market share. Linux took over unix in the server market.

You don't have to use it, there's app data folders now.
