New to Linux, running Debian (if that matters), dot files are configuration files, yes? Do I need to explore each app/UI/program to figure out the possible options? Are there any universals in Linux? Across distros?
Thanks!

Dot (.) files are hidden files/folders. Config files, for the most part, are located in the users home/.config folder. You should be spending very little time, if any, in that folder.
Hahaha, tell that to https://lemmy.ml/c/unixporn
Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn’t work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !unixporn@lemmy.ml
I know what you mean, but man if this isn’t the exact opposite of me. If the program doesn’t store its config here I’m close to crusading.
~/.config really makes life a lot easier when backing up your dotfiles.
