Hey guys! Is there a way for me to force apps to treat e.g. $HOME/.config/ as their default directory to look for settings? I want to clear up my home directory because its getting quite messy and I don’t even have that many packages installed yet.

Also, any way that would be easy and efficient for use with git for the purpose of backing up my dotfiles.

Thanks!

    I’ve seen developers complain that xdg is not a true standard and it only works on linux, which at that point I wanna start slapping people around.

      I’ve seen this too, but as someone who’s submitted patches to 5+ projects to fix the pathing, not once has it been rejected
