Starting KDE/plasma just once creates hundreds of configuration files in ~/.config/. Most of those are tiny files concerning small simple aspects of my desktop. It seems like most/all KCM modules creates one each, and so do KDE applications/modules/subsystems. I like that the KDE configuration is so simple and modular, but ~/.config/ seems very polluted. Would it be possible to start using a more hierarchical approach to store the configuration files? Like storing them into ~/.config/KDE/KCM/ ~/.config/KDE/plasma/ ~/.config/KDE/apps/ etc. I think that this would have a few advantages: 1. It would be easier to remove the whole configuration of KDE (and plasma, KCM etc), to start KDE/plasma with a clean slate. 2. It would be easier to find both KDE and non-KDE config files. I was looking at ~/.config/ to decide which files I should copy to my new system, but the pollution of that directory is making this job tedious. 1936776 1 nate 2020-06-13 16:48:49 +0000 *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 422529 ***
