ADMINISTRATIONS PASSWORT EINSTELLEN!
DA FEHLT EIN BINDESTRICH!
Time flies, where a HDD is barely enough to run a minimal Linux.
You can of course not give users a choice. And a lot of applications do their own thing, having their own variables like GOPATH
or a cli option like --config
or some way to do that in a config file like Idea IDEs. But implementing XDG from start is miles simpler for all parties, it’s good practice to have your paths and variables somewhat organized in code anyway.
In this case it would be XDG_CONFIG_HOME=/home/config
. That simple.
This standard makes your software’s paths user-configurable, giving users a choice.
And i wish there was a separate XDG_LOG_HOME or $HOME/.local/log, with logrotate preconfigured to look there.
What language? Python has PyXDG.
In shell it’s simply
XDG_DATA_HOME="${XDG_DATA_HOME:-"$HOME"/.local/share}"
XDG_CONFIG_HOME="${XDG_CONFIG_HOME:-"$HOME"/.config}"
etc.
Where did i read this… basically, the .file being hidden being a bug in the early unix filesystem, which got misused to hide configuration files.
Offenders despite XDG-variables set and with no workaround:
Well, less people are listening new releases each year, more are listening old songs…
You were in grade school when this was made.

Why is everyone giving relationship advice as if it were the reverse?
That’s cool and all but there’s no vintage community for that?
It’s still around and kicking unresponsive windows.
xorg-xkill on Arch, bound to alt+esc for me.
Thanks for the view behind the curtains!
And yeah, dark in the document is another pain point, especially in IDE’s/editors and if you switch between dark and light for day/night. They should just all have color/icon settings for dark/light separately.
What is FDO icons?
Why an application and not the UI framework has to care for dark mode?
But there are Wifi plugs you can command via network address.
Two partitions for a live linux, the second for home and other data. It can come in handy, if you’re on linux.
