Top 10 xdg-basedir Open-Source Projects

  • xdg-ninja

    A shell script which checks your $HOME for unwanted files and directories.

    • Project mention: Why not export XDG variables? | /r/linux | 2023-09-03

    As a user, these variables make my experience simpler. I'm not going to argue that these specifications should be followed by all, because I know there are many users who are committed to dying on the hill that is their cluttered home directory. However, the existence of these variables is not a deterrent to users who do not want to use the specification, as many applications will want to use your home directory anyway. If the existence of these variables made the specification strictly followed, projects like xdg-ninja (https://github.com/b3nj5m1n/xdg-ninja) would have no reason to exist.

  • directories-rs

    a mid-level library that provides config/cache/data paths, following the respective conventions on Linux, macOS and Windows

    • Project mention: Rip – Rust crate to resolve and install Python packages | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-10-19

    There are even libraries for that!

    • Project mention: Sway-Talisman: Terminal Application Launcher in Scratchpad, Minimalist And Native | /r/swaywm | 2023-12-06

  • xdg-go

    • Project mention: Where should I store user files, like config files for a project? | /r/learnprogramming | 2023-05-30

    There exists the xdg base directory specification (https://specifications.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/basedir-spec-latest.html). This is hard to understand for a beginner so I would advice to use a library that implements this specification for example for java you have: https://github.com/dirs-dev/directories-jvm
