AppData folder: am I a joke to you?

    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?

      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.
