~/.config :>
And now show hidden files and you see the plethora of applications that dump everything in your homedir instead of .config
Its even worse when they dont make it a hidden folder (looking at you android studio)
That annoys the fuck out of me. I want the folders I put in /home, not your shit. Put it in /.local or something and fuck off.
I believe the folder you are attempting to refer to is for all users so you probably do want to have the config in
~/.configunless you want everyone to have the same. Also /home is the directory that includes all users respective~/directories so use~/when referring to your own home directory.Edit I can't figure out the formatting. My client is showing
<sub>where ~ should be.yup...
.hidden file became my best friend - and a little context menu script for dolphin to easily add a file / folder to that .hidden is a thing i use way too often tbh
Hint for KDE folks: Ctrl + h toggles hidden visibility. Makes navigating lots easier. :D
Same in thunar (the xfce file manager)
Awesome! Thunar is legit. 😁
That really pisses me off.
No matter the environment, it is important to dump shit wherever so the user does not get complacent.
