I created this application after getting tired of seeing settings change for no apparent reason. Due to privacy concerns of how Microsoft is with their aggressive telemetry I decided to use this to make sure my settings stay in tact.

I’m on Linux and I was going to shit all over Windows but realized I could use this on a few servers that I fuck with and constantly break.

    I enjoy using NixOS with Impermanence for servers.

    settings can't be changed if you nuke them from orbit and create them fresh on every boot. To get the same behavior on windows, you'd probably need an image-based system and neutered updating
