Where Does Schism Tracker Store Config and Modules?
Schism Tracker keeps schism_config in ~/.config/schism on Linux, with songs wherever you save them.
Last updated
Schism Tracker stores preferences, key bindings, and directory memory in schism_config under its per OS config folder. Modules (.it, .xm, .s3m, .mod) save wherever you point the file browser, like the DOS trackers it clones.
Back up the config file to keep palette and pattern fonts. Songs need no special handling beyond normal files. Sample libraries travel as folders you organized, not as app data.
