The prompt was realistic not simple lol. Usually some man or programname -h and then reading will tell you where to look and that’s simple. Not many people want to hear “RTFM” though.
Nonsense. And even if the config file cannot be found in the usual directories then there are always tools like KFind that can search your entire OS within seconds.
How does it not solve their problem if they’re searching for configuration files? That would only be the case if the files do not exist in the first place, and then there’s really no difference between GNU/Linux and Windows at all if you assume that initial configuration has not occurred. What would you do?
not seen in this comic: the linux file isn’t where the comic/manual/internet nerds says it should be, and there’s no realistic way to find it
Sure there is:
find / -name myprogram*.md -o -name myprogram*.txtor start with just looking for the program name and pipe tolessSo simple

If your app don’t need full user home access (most app don’t), you can use a persistent folder to place the folder in app sandbox instead of home.
It is not only more clean, but also more secure and private.

congratulations. you’ve just sent a linux newb down a 12 hour rabbit hole that doesn’t actually solve their problem.
and thats the power of linux baby hell yeah
