Hi.. Can do the same for linux also?
I mean, transfer the setting from a wW10 installation to a Debian installation.

Should more or less work. Maybe MRUs and likes will raise some warnings because file paths are formatted differently between OSes.
I never tried though.

The recent files are no problem, they are silently ignored as non existent. A default font path in Draft preferences has to be replaced, of course.
