It really depends for what. I don't think nginx config should be in $HOME/.conf/
Right? It goes into ~/Documents/
SMH my head
Everything into ~/Downloads/ until the partition is full.
First thing I do on a new install is purge the home folder of every default folder, and symlink Downloads to another partition.
Whoever standardized that shit in there like Templates needs to be shot with a ball of their own feces.

You can actually change those locations rather than using symlinks. I have them as subfolders in
~/xdg/on my system.
Unless it's running as your own user as part of your session.
/etcfor system-wide and~/.configfor your own user makes a lot of sense.They want
~/etc/in their home, which just seems like a renamed~/.config/.
