Dear Linux desktop apps, you have full authorization to create a folder in my ~/.config directory, you are even invited to stuff your data in my ~/.local/share directory, and let's not forget about that ~/.cache y'all! Wunderbar! Much freedom!

So, now, please repeat after me:

👏 I 👏 SHALL 👏 NOT 👏 MAKE 👏 A 👏 FOLDER 👏 IN 👏 YOUR 👏 HOME 👏 DIRECTORY 👏

Thank you kindly

@yarmo while it's bad practice, you also don't want to break everyones installations with that change. So You'll need fallback logic and at least test if the home folder has something in the old path.

@yarmo PT: yeahhhhhhhh, leave the home alone. And don't .hide yourself. You are not .git
