It feels like every single user-facing open source project needs to have its own XDG drama at some point.
- BiteCode_dev 2y agoI don't understand how it's a drama. It's an old spec, it's easy to follow, it's standard, and you can still keep compact with the old .dir at user root if you want. What's the big deal ?
- eadmund 2y agoSome people really don’t like change. I understand that, but I think that the XDG directory spec is really worth having. It’s wonderful to unclutter $HOME. But I do get that for those of us who’ve been using Unix for decades it can be a bit weird when stuff which used to be under $HOME/.$WHATEVER ends up under $HOME/.config/$WHATEVER.
