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

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

    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.

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

    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.
