Files and directories starting with a dot are hiden by default. You are aksing for this stuff if you manually unhide them.

Screenshot is from Windows where dotfiles aren’t hidden by default. And all the lazy developers that created those directories, didn’t bother to set the hidden attribute (See appdata is greyed, because it has the hidden attribute set)

To be fair, those Windows directories might have a space in them and break things anyway.

Directories can have spaces in their name on other platforms too. You can set the XDG environment variables to whatever you want, so eg. instead of using
~/.configyou could use~/My Config Filessik0fewl@lemmy.ca 4 weeks ago
