    If anyone feels adventurous, give this little experiment a try:

    • Create the top level hierarchy of folders in your $HOME
    • remove write permissions for everyone from $HOME

    That way, programs won’t be able to clutter your $HOME anymore and it’ll be easy to find any culprits

      Terrible advice, do this in a VM as a lab but not on your main computer.

        I did not frame it as “advice” though, did I? :)

          Clearly it’s not an adventure for the faint of heart.

      Will things fail to function if they can’t make their $HOME/.dumbfiles?
