I don’t like the mess some software makes when it install in my system so I want to move it to a more appropriate place.

My questions are:

1- Where is the most appropriated directory for this? (some hidden folder made with this purpose, I thought linux had something like this as a standard)

2- How I move it without breaking anything?

    Agreed - I’m much happier with my /files directory. Not to mention I have no interest in organizing my files by type (photos, documents, music). Instead I have directories like house, finances, podcasts, etc.

    I just wish programs wouldn’t take the XDG directories so seriously and default to those locations. I’d rather they always default to last saved directory.
