I’m also on Mastodon: https://mastodon.social/@not3ottersinacoat
Config files for programs are in hidden folders in ~ (as you discovered) OR in ~/.config OR in ~/.local/share (yeah it’s a bit of a mess)
Config files for flatpaks can be found under ~/.var/app (usually, some flatpaks have permissions to write outside that directory).


Fedora benefits Red Hat. It’s upstream. I’ll avoid what I can, especially something so obvious.


Counterpoint: Fedora is a testing bed for Red Hat. One of Red Hat’s notable customers is the US military. I’d prefer to stay off that path if I can help it. It’s a matter of trust, and it’s a matter of indirectly contributing. I’ve seen people say the same things about Deepin and everyone nods in agreement, but why the hell should I trust a US project, for the same reasons?

Just as my two cents, as a user - I like flatpaks because I can have up to date versions of certain applications on a more stable Debian base. I also like that application configs all go in one spot (~/.var/app/com.Example.example), and having granular permissions management per application. As for immutable distros, I’d happily use one if I wasn’t already getting all the stability I need from LMDE :)
My answer is almost exactly the same as yours. It was me and my friend doing it together.

Cinnamon. I feel like it’s a nice middle ground between the minimalism of Gnome and the maximalism of KDE Plasma
I’m happy with my routine. Simple, quick.
