OK, OK: the Gnome DE (Desktop Environment, see above) has something called "the dconf database" which is similar to but different from the registry, mostly used for the DE itself whereas most applications will still use config files. (see below)
All other DEs have config files, 'just like all Windows versions prior to Windows 95':
* system config files are located in `/etc`
* user config files are in `~/.config`:
* `~` is an abbreviation for "your home directory"
* `.config` is a ''hidden''  directory: (I.E. Any directory starting with a `.` is hidden and you probably have to press <kbd>Ctrl</kbd>+<kbd>H</kbd> in your DE's File Manager to see these.)
* Application config files ''can reside somewhere else'' though that happens rarely..
