Dear Linux desktop apps, you have full authorization to create a folder in my ~/.config directory, you are even invited to stuff your data in my ~/.local/share directory, and let's not forget about that ~/.cache y'all! Wunderbar! Much freedom!

So, now, please repeat after me:

πŸ‘ I πŸ‘ SHALL πŸ‘ NOT πŸ‘ MAKE πŸ‘ A πŸ‘ FOLDER πŸ‘ IN πŸ‘ YOUR πŸ‘ HOME πŸ‘ DIRECTORY πŸ‘

Thank you kindly

@yarmo Same thing for Windows – app developers love to store data everywhere, but uninstaller doesn't delete this data πŸ€¦πŸ»β€β™‚οΈ. Eclipse IDE especially pissed me off, because it must be removed manually, and there's no uninstaller 😀.
