Default Setting-Change - daveski - 02-09-2019
Where, on a linux OS, are my settings kept? I want to modify these settings so that they override the default settings. Thanks, David

Which ones do you want to override?
All user settings are in ~/.config/GIMP/2.10 and most can be set from Edit -> Preferences
Otherwise have a look in the system gimprc file /etc/gimp/2.0/gimprc for the things that can be set (it has explanations) and ~/.config/GIMP/2.10/gimprc for the place to add 'overrides'

How would I override the View>Show Rulers default value of "x" for instance? Not the world's most important setting, but a minor annoyance for me. Any other examples of changes would be appreciated. Thanks, David

I suspect that the parts you want to alter are in the Gimp code and not changeable from the interface or the configuration files.
For example, while the spacing of a grid can be easily changed, the ruler is dependent on the units used, pixels, points, inches, millimetres ..etc
Make a wish list and sent it to the Gimp developers at gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gimp/issues/ as an 'improvement'
