Where Does Cadence Store Settings on Linux?
Cadence JACK toolbox config dir with jackdbus settings file.
Last updated
Cadence keeps its config dir under XDG config with capital-C naming. Jack settings flow through jackdbus conf beside logs. Manjaro plus studio threads pin the layout.
Lowercase folder guesses miss on case-sensitive filesystems. Keep the config dir whole.
