Attached: 1 image My fellow software engineer, It's the year 2024. Please store your #Linux #desktop application configurations ONLY in `$XDG_CONFIG_HOME`. NOT in `$HOME` or other non-standard or obsolete places. May #FreeDesktop be your guide. https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Specifications/ #Programming #DevOps #SysAdmin

    Strange that some apps allow configuring it rather than just doing it automatically…

      That’s the usual open source way. The config probably came later so they just added the option without changing the default because that would break backward compatibility.

      And there would be too much boring work to build a migration.
