Thanks for messing up my home directory!!!

Edit: Tell me when you have to scroll 2x your display height

I feel you. Why is there no standardized way if dealing with this?

@hypervtechnics they should go inside the config folder

@hypervtechnics XKCD related: https://xkcd.com/927/

@Jilano I think the /opt directory is a good example

@hypervtechnics not really if you have multiple users

@620hun I mean for the programs binary files on e.g. a server

Just barely fits the screen XD

Also I think that the idea of files and directories being used interchangeably in dotfiles is because some configurations use multiple files so a dedicated directory makes more sense, and others use just one .${application}rc file, so a file makes more sense. That is, if they're done properly of course..

@Jilano nah, it’s actually pretty much the only reasonable standard. Configs should go in XDG_CONFIG_HOME. Period.

At least it is better than the mess that is the windows 10 directory's structure

They should put it in a config folder or dot_files folder in Home directory

Dotnet and mono?

UPVOTE

@Spark "What do you mean? Programs only get installed in Program files, or Program files (x86), or Appdata/roaming, or Appdata/locale, or Program Data, or any fucking arbitrary folder in the entire system."

@Jilano or all the statically linked system32 for 64 bit stuff and the other thing wow64 for 32 bit stuff. It all makes sense
