but please don’t hard-code ~/.config or $HOME/.config. Use the XDG_CONFIG_HOME environment variable, with $HOME/.config as a fallback if it’s not set.
Many programming languages have a cross-platform implementation of this built in to their standard library. C# has Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.ApplicationData) which uses XDG_CONFIG_HOME on Linux, local AppData on Windows, and whatever is the correct thing on MacOS (not very familiar with how things work on MacOS)
