XDG Base Directory Specification is not new. come on!
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/XDG_Base_Directory#Hardcoded 😞
What does this mean though? Sure it’s not new, but does it make it less of a mess?
The XDG Base Directory Specification is a set of guidelines to tell application developers where they should store their application’s config files, cache, etc.
There are many applications that don’t follow the guidelines and put their files in a hidden folder directly in your home directory, which is what the guidelines are trying to combat.
