And I also don't want programs to throw all their crap in the documents folder. AppData is made for that.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 4 months ago

SO MUCH. Now my standard procedure is to just make a "_My_Documents" folder within Documents, so I can know where the files are that I put there myself.

(Leading underscore pops it to the top of the list alphabetically)

I remember some Windows versions had a Games folder for all that, saved games, etc...but it seems very few games actually decided to use it lol.

~/.config :>

And now show hidden files and you see the plethora of applications that dump everything in your homedir instead of .config

That really pisses me off.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

No matter the environment, it is important to dump shit wherever so the user does not get complacent.

Hint for KDE folks: Ctrl + h toggles hidden visibility. Makes navigating lots easier. :D

Same in thunar (the xfce file manager)

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

Awesome! Thunar is legit. 😁

Its even worse when they dont make it a hidden folder (looking at you android studio)

[–] [email protected] 7 points 4 months ago (1 children)

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 ~/.config unless 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
