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