Fairly new to Arch, and my inner autist hates having a dozen dotfiles in my home directory. That's MY HOME, not your configuration dumping grounds.
As much as people rag on XDG, I like the idea of keeping them all in a version controlled ~/.config. Of course lots of programs hardcode the path, or require a dotfile in home to specify another search path.
Is anyone else this anal? How does Sup Forums manage dotfiles?
They are literally hidden. Unless you always type ls -a like a fucking autist you shouldn't even be noticing them.
...god, fucking archbabbys.
eat my entire ass
this isnt arch-specific. ALL user specific config files should be somewhere in the users directory, sometimes in a dot-directory (like .mozilla/firefox/asdlfkjlakq3f23f-default) or if it's just a simple config a toplevel dotfile (.bashrc)
literally what are you talking about

this is one of the stupidest questions ive seen in some time.
I know what you mean.
I too hate all these dotfiles in my home. I just left them there because I don't know how to move them all to .config ... if that's even possible
Why not just put your personal files somewhere else?
They should be organized. Put them in a special configuration or user data folder. Not just scattered about randomly with no organization. Sometimes they aren't even hidden.

if this really bothers you, why not just move all your files out of your home directory or if it's that important, create a new "home" folder somewhere else and symlink all your folders.

Users that liked systemd also liked the following:
Windows 10, Apple Mac OS X
I sometimes chroot into /tmp/`date +%s` because the voices cant follow me there
i agree with you user, fucking hate how these retarded apps clutter up my shit.
Only thing i can think of is to have a dummy home dir which points to same path as XDG_CONFIG_HOME then keep your real home nicely tucked away, but thats gonna create a crapton more problems than it solves.
Another method im considering is having a dummy home dir/partition that very small (1gb) then partition the rest of the space into a "media" partition to store my own files
try this
echo $XDG_CONFIG_HOME
oh wait
its empty
because you didnt set it
you fucking nigger
try setting it in $HOME/.profile
Definitely pissed me the fuck off, I saw some propositions for a definitive path for all configs but of course freetard cuck devs didn't want to adapt to it
XDG_CONFIG_HOME defaults to ~/.config/, though, right? So anything respecting that shouldn't be putting anything in OP's home directory
the specification says it should be set
standards.freedesktop.org
also take a look at
wiki.archlinux.org
