I realised that keeping a clean user home directory was futile long ago... this is not even unique to linux or *nix. Just don't put anything you care about in home directories: in the modern world people own computers not user accounts, you likely have ultimate control over your system, therefore designate your own "home" directory, don't give the other "developers" the choice to polute it by making it non-standard. I like to be able to nuke my user-home directory whenever I like, I achieve this without pain by additionally placing my hand picked application configurations that I care about into a read only XDG config directory.
