.config is a XDG thing. The location of it is configurable. Which is the opposite of a standard and is a bad idea in general.

- farisjarrah 7y agoJust out of curiosity, why is it the opposite of a standard if its configurable? XDG home seems to have a sane default of .config, but also provides configuration with the $XDG_CONFIG_HOME environment variable. To me it looks like thats part of the specified XDG base directory standard. https://specifications.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/basedir-spec-latest.html https://specifications.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/basedir-...
- upofadown 7y agoIt can hardly be considered a standard location if you literally make it so people will consider putting it wherever they like.
