Seriously stop polluting my $HOME!

dotfiles and their consequences were a disaster for the penguin race.
This is a very petty issue but I'm still PISSED. 
I'm starting my switch to Linux soon... I have no idea what any of this means. 
Sometimes GNU/Linux presents some GNU/Challenges and you just got to bring them up.
Still not even clear on the difference between GNU/Linux. I'm probably going to fuck this specific thing up when I install.
TL;DR because free software is so transformative and diverse, simply calling the whole system "Linux" is inaccurate. Linux is the name of the operating system kernel. but the kernel itself isn't an operating system and is quite useless by itself as all it does is be the gate between the hardware and the software of a computer (putting it simply).
A lot of people don't know about the GNU Project and how its mission was to create a completely free operating system while the rest of the tech world was being gobbled up by the capitalist ruling class through licenses and patents in the 80s and early 90s. Calling the operating system GNU/Linux helps shed a light on that history.
Conversationally, people know what you mean when you say Linux, but in writing the term Linux can be very ambiguous. Android uses the Linux kernel, but calling it a Linux system akin to Ubuntu or Fedora is an apples and oranges comparison.
I need to find that config file, let me just ls -a 
Sometimes you can move stuff to the xdg user dirs but it just won't default there! The Archwiki page has a list of applications w/ tips on how to change them
Of the ones in the screenshot I know for a fact you can move the emacs config dir from ~/.emacs.d to $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/emacs and it'll use that directory as long as ~/.emacs.d/init.el and/or ~/.emacs(.el) don't exist
(I have spent a lot of time trying to keep my home folder clean ๐๐๐)
auto checks which files can be moved to make it a little less manual

I generally think the volunteers who work on these projects deserve the utmost respect on their issue trackers and official channels, but the ones in this list marked as "wontfix" deserve pigpoopballs in their pull requests.
Oh, it is endlessly frustrating and almost always for the dumbest reasons you can imagine
The bane of every Linux user is Linux lol
I have to use Linux for work and the amount of headspace I have dedicated to totally opaque command names is upsetting to me
have to use Linux
Fucking blessed, mate
lol. I believe strongly in FOSS but I am using Ubuntu and I find it so painfully user unfriendly :'0
Ah, yeah, I had to use Ubuntu at my last job. I feel you on that one.
A comm dedicated to the fight for free software with an anti-capitalist perspective.
The struggle for libre computing cannot be disentangled from other forms of socialist reform. One must be willing to reject proprietary software as fiercely as they would reject capitalism. Luckily, we are not alone.
$CURRENT_YEAR, flock to Linux Mint!; Apple Silicon users will want to check out Asahi Linux.
