Haven't used much of Linux before, can someone explain the joke?

[-] [email protected] 93 points 7 months ago

The Windows equivilent would be instead of putting application data in the AppData folder, it throws it in Documents, My Games, or just in the home folder directly.

ah so like every fucking game and it's save files for some reason?

[-] [email protected] 23 points 7 months ago

Better, it could be literally anywhere and there's nothing you can do about it. Also symlinks practically look like regular folders and files to most apps.

That's why i prefer to use Wine for games. Just change the symlinks in C:/users/ to somewhere sane, like .local/Games//save. Guess you could also use the variables in .config/user-dirs.dirs while creating the prefix, but i haven't tested that yet.

... or just imagine all of it being thrown on the Desktop (the bare user directory is rarely visited in Windows)
