  • My fellow software engineer, It's the year 2024...

  • 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:

    • .android: hardcoded in adb and i guess something in mtp too
    • .pki: some tool/library Firefox and Chromium sometimes use.
    • .steam: yes, that

    Btw, https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/XDG_Base_Directory

  • 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?
