Seriously stop polluting my $HOME!
.pki .mozilla .java .gnupg .emacs.d .cargo .thunderbird .steam
dotfiles and their consequences were a disaster for the penguin race.
This is a very petty issue but I’m still PISSED. 
Sometimes you can move stuff to the xdg user dirs but it just won’t default there! The Archwiki page has a list of applications w/ tips on how to change them
Of the ones in the screenshot I know for a fact you can move the emacs config dir from
~/.emacs.dto$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/emacsand it’ll use that directory as long as~/.emacs.d/init.eland/or~/.emacs(.el)don’t exist(I have spent a lot of time trying to keep my home folder clean 🙃🙃🙃)
auto checks which files can be moved to make it a little less manual

Oh, it is endlessly frustrating and almost always for the dumbest reasons you can imagine
