True on linux, but not on Windows. There is the “Appdata” (Application Data) sub folder for that. The users profile is meant for the users personal files - but way too many apps ignore that.
Makes me think that probably a multiplatform-compat library points the apps there?
I think ~ is the appropriate folder at least for the . folders, but I’ve often wondered why they’re not attrib +h. 🤷♂️

No, not true on Linux. We have the XDG folder specifications to specifically not have our ~ cluttered with random shit.
Doing this on Linux is no better than doing it on Windows.
TIL; good to know, thank you!
