    I absolutely despise the following directories: Documents, Music, Pictures, Public, Templates, Videos. Why? Because applications randomly dump stuff into these directories and fill them with junk files. I don’t want any application putting anything into directories I actually use, unless I explicitly tell them to. It is not possible to keep your files organized if applications randomly dump trash files into them.

      Same shit happens on Windows. Games will just install their shit literally all over OS with no rhyme or reason to it.

      Why can’t the save game and config.ini just be in the main god damn game directory? Nobody knows.

    If you care, please take time to upvote or file bugs on packages that don’t follow XDG. Or even better, make PRs.
