For Linux applications that respect XDG? Sure. There are plenty that don't because they either predate that specification, or they just don't care. Linux filesystems are generally much faster at executing reads on many small files, meaning fast search tools like
ripgrep
andfd
make it so I don't really have to care. They'll run through my whole$HOME
in 5 seconds flat. There's also stuff likelocate
, although I don't like maintaining an index. SSDs are so damn fast that I can justrg --hidden --glob '*.toml' 'the_setting_i_want_to_change' ~/
whenever I want.
