Maybe Linux should have
.localand.roamingfolders like Windows. local = only useful on this system, roaming = good to sync across systems. Config would be in.roamingif it’s not machine-specific.The only practical difference between Local and Roaming and LocalLow is that developers randomly pick one and dump your game saves in there.
