New to Linux, running Debian (if that matters), dot files are configuration files, yes? Do I need to explore each app/UI/program to figure out the possible options? Are there any universals in Linux? Across distros?

Thanks!

    You should be spending very little time, if any, in that folder.

    I know what you mean, but man if this isn’t the exact opposite of me. If the program doesn’t store its config here I’m close to crusading.

    ~/.config really makes life a lot easier when backing up your dotfiles.
