    Ah, Steam proton. They could just point the drive_c/users/steamuser/<dir> symlinks to $XDG_DATA_HOME instead. But considering that the “use XDG dirs” issue is unanswered for years now…

      I will be very upsetti spaghetti if my private directories become a dump for game data like they were on Windows.

        They are already, Proton has at least My Documents to ~/Documents symlinked. And there’s .config/unity3d/

        • DefaultCompany
        • Hikkeiru
        • Klei
        • Ludeon Studios
        • Payload
        • Squad
        • Team Bieno
        • Team Niche
        • Unknown Vendor (the fuck?)

        And some more somewhere else.

          Damn, you’re right. I suppose as long as they stay in ~/.config and out of ~/Documents I’ll be happy. Now that I’m actually looking the only offender there on my filesystem is Kitten Space Agency. It created a ~/Documents/My Games/. They should rename it to Kitten Whitespace Agency.

      I think, that may cause compatibility issues, but having persistent saves would indeed be nice

        Nope, they are already symlinks. Wine desktop integration. Proton has a few less. I remember Documents in both.
