Its even worse when they dont make it a hidden folder (looking at you android studio)

That annoys the fuck out of me. I want the folders I put in /home, not your shit. Put it in /.local or something and fuck off.

I believe the folder you are attempting to refer to is for all users so you probably do want to have the config in ~/.config unless you want everyone to have the same. Also /home is the directory that includes all users respective ~/ directories so use ~/ when referring to your own home directory.

Edit I can't figure out the formatting. My client is showing <sub> where ~ should be.

yup...

.hidden file became my best friend - and a little context menu script for dolphin to easily add a file / folder to that .hidden is a thing i use way too often tbh
