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.
.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
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.

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.
And I also don’t want programs to throw all their crap in the documents folder. AppData is made for that.
~/.config :>
And now show hidden files and you see the plethora of applications that dump everything in your homedir instead of .config
Its even worse when they dont make it a hidden folder (looking at you android studio)
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.

Hint for KDE folks: Ctrl + h toggles hidden visibility. Makes navigating lots easier. :D
Same in thunar (the xfce file manager)
Awesome! Thunar is legit. 😁
That really pisses me off.
