Last updated
Stacer stores dashboard layouts and cleaner preferences under XDG config paths on Linux. Startup apps, services and cleaner rules persist there between launches. System reports generate fresh each run.
Back up the config tree to move the setup. Exact filenames vary by release, so confirm inside the app when paths differ. Deleting the folder is the clean reset when settings corrupt.

Frequently asked questions
How do I move Stacer settings?
Copy the Stacer config folder with the app closed to the same path. Dashboard layouts and cleaner prefs travel together. Reopen once to confirm.
Dashboard shows nothing. What fixes it?
Check the config folder for the dashboard and cleaner sections first. Corrupt prefs cause most empty-dashboard cases. Deleting the folder resets to defaults cleanly.
