      How does it help to write an application storing its files in the right place? It helps the user, sure, but that’s not what this post is about.

      Even when using home manager or any other dotfile manager your $HOME folder is still filled with junk. It maybe in your controlled repo but it still ends up as symlink to that repo.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
