Summary0000062: Linux: Configuration and plugin storage not XDG conform
Description

Upon installation, the program creates a folder '~/.vanted' in the home directory, containing preferences, plugin storage and licence acceptance flags.

This is not XDG conform: The folder should be created as '$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/vanted' (and maybe even more differentiated as per specification).

Steps To Reproduce
  • Verify that $XDG_CONFIG_HOME is set on your Linux system
  • Run the installer
  • Discover the folder at '~/.vanted'
  • Do not discover a folder at '$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/vanted'
Additional Information

Additionally, on specialty OSes like NixOS with nonstandard locations for things like /bin/chmod, the installer throws a failure error in that. Manually running the rest of the installer script's parts works fine to get the program running.
