If you launch Lazarus with the --pcp flag you can specify a configuration folder.

Do something like this on every computer.

sudo mkdir -p /usr/share/lazarus/config
sudo chmod 777 /usr/share/lazarus/config

Then you can just launch Lazarus with --pcp /usr/share/lazarus/config, adjust your settings, and then copy the contents of /usr/share/lazarus/config to as many computers/users as you want. After that all settings for the various installations will be the same. -------------- next part --------------

Thanks.

This is one solution but has some caveats: not all configs should be shared like compiler location, lazarus source directory etc, some of the computers are windows

I'm looking into some tool/package/features that automates this and filter the not eligible configs

If there are none, and time allows, i will create one
