Where Does Lorem Store Settings on Linux?
Where GNOME Lorem keeps generators and settings on Linux for reset, backup and full moves.
Last updated
Lorem keeps almost everything in dconf: generator choices, paragraph counts and window state under its app branch. Generated placeholder text copies out, never stored, on every install.
Dump the branch for migration; load it back with the app closed. Exact app id can vary by fork, so list dconf to confirm on your machine. Clearing settings never touches anything else on any install you own, without exceptions.
Where Lorem stores this, by platform

Frequently asked questions
How do I back up Lorem settings?
Copy the dconf branch with dconf dump before resetting. Generator choices travel in settings. Restoring means loading the file back with the app closed.
How do I reset Lorem to defaults?
Quit Lorem and reset its dconf branch, then relaunch. Generated text needs no saving; only options reset. The app recreates defaults on next start.
