Location of boards.txt in Arduino 2?

It can be found (on windows?) in: %appdata%\..\local\Arduino15\packages\teensy\hardware\avr\0.58.3

Where the last 'folder' is the installed version.

ALSO: instead of modifying the boards.txt itself put the desired changed alone into: boards.local.txt

That file is looked at after boards.txt and replacements or additions are made. The IDE should be closed before/after making the change as it is read on startup.

Make a copy of the boards.local.txt after editing as moving to a new 'version' will create a new folder and not expected that file is migrated when the 'current' version is wiped out for the new.

The only boards.txt on my harddrive (running linux) is in the old arduino-1.8.13 folder. Hmmm..

Good tip on that boards.local.txt though, I wish there was a way to make boards.txt changes that were only per-project.
