AFAIK appdata are stored in ~/.local/share, but you don’t even have that folder!?!?!
It’s not the Linux convention that’s fucked up in this regard, but your system.
If you want it stored in ~/AppData, you need to make a link to it from ~/.local/share.
I’m no expert, so there may be other ways to do it. but apparently your system doesn’t follow conventions.
He’s using windows.
But while we’re on the subject, ~/.local/share is cancer and shouldn’t exist.
The appropriate path is /usr/share.
I have a Cron job that will erase anything written to that folder, and if that breaks your shitty software then I’ll assume your shitty software doesn’t work and I’ll also spam issues about it until you fix it or find a different career doing something productive, like cooking McRibs.
/usr/share? How is a random app getting write permissions to that?
The appropriate path is /usr/share.
That’s a global folder, and not proper for storing “per user” data.
I’m a little confused by that statement. Where should locally installed (non-sudo) applications, such as virtual python envs who are accessed by multiple other not-necessarily-python apps or perhaps baloo, flatpak, etc, store their shared data? I’m rather convinced that giving all users write access to /usr/share is a terrible idea.
I have a SystemD service
The irony is how lennart and his cancer approached standards, top to bottom.
Now I want McRibs.
I even have a couple of things that found ~/.local but missed /share

WHAT?!
Why does he complain about a stupid OS being stupid?
That doesn’t make much sense. 😋
