11) What configuration file is it?

Since Linux can be maintained using nothing but text shell, it happens that you do not remember the configuration file's name.

There are two ways to solve the problem.

The first way is by actually not dealing with it. If you can, a good shortcut might be to use some GUI configuration program. There are many such already built-in your KDE or GNOME already.

The second way is to run a text search for close enough expression in the directory where configuration files exist, by typing 'grep "expression" <directory>/*' which will output any file and line In it containing the expression, so things get a bit closer.

More advanced searching options using 'grep' can be found in the manual ('man grep').
