The problem with the XDG spec is that it now forces you to have different paths on different platforms. It just increases the complexity and at the end of the day unless all software adheres to it, you still end up with a “polluted HOME”.
I’m not a fan of config directories being in different locations on different platforms because it’s now one extra thing everyone needs to handle.
(Disclaimer: I work on Pi but I dislike XDG in all settings)
