[New Feature]: Linux App follow XDG Desktop standards for folders

[alexmagicpotions]

Environment

Alchemy Beta 7.1.9.2516

Description

Would ot be possible to have Alchemy use the standard linux folder setup rather than throwing everything into a .alchemy folder in your home directory?

Config files in ~/.config
Cache files in ~/.cache
App data in ~/.local/share
Etc.

This would make it much easier to manage files since it would be one less app filling a user's home directory. Even major web browsers like Chrome andbFirefox have moved away from the dot folder in ~/home in favor of this approach (albeit it took Firefox 20+ years to do so).

Given that this is a downstream of https://github.com/secondlife/viewer/ which is restoring their Linux port in a soon-to-be-beta capacity, this is a request that I feel is best directed upstream. Please create a well-reasoned request with them echoing these requests and justifications. I will keep this open for now, but it is not likely to see much activity here.

OH! Was not aware upstream was returning to Linux, I thought they had abandoned it completely
