He's using windows.
But while we're on the subject, ~/.local/share is cancer and shouldn't exist.
The appropriate path is /usr/share.
EDIT: Okay to be clear I mean that anything that could be global should go into /usr/share and massively save on space and effort if another user needs the same stuff.
Anything that doesn't need to be global doesn't need to go into /use/share but somewhere else in ~/.
The way it is now my ~/.local is a massive dumping ground of crap from configs to static app resources that should go into /usr/share to entire applications with snap or flatpak (why I don't use them) to random config files.
It's just a nasty mess on my home partition when it in most cases really doesn't need to be.
Users below rightfully pointed out many exceptions like venvs and while I still believe there should be a more correct place for them to go e.g. (~/.venv, ~/.flatpak), but obviously they shouldn't go into /usr/share willy-nilly.
I have removed the sass below because I should've been more comprehensive in my criticism before ad-hominem.
That's a global folder, and not proper for storing "per user" data.
/usr/share? How is a random app getting write permissions to that?
I'm a little confused by that statement. Where should locally installed (non-sudo) applications, such as virtual python envs who are accessed by multiple other not-necessarily-python apps or perhaps baloo, flatpak, etc, store their shared data? I'm rather convinced that giving all users write access to /usr/share is a terrible idea.
The irony is how lennart and his cancer approached standards, top to bottom.
Now I want McRibs.
