Linux

The XDG Base Directory Specification was first published in 2003 as version 0.6 . There were minor updates in 2010 with 0.7 and in 2021 with 0.8 . While applications that pre-date the specification do not annoy me so much, newer applications that ignore it are a specific pet peeve of mine.

While a lot of my usage is quite simple, tmux is a quite useful tool in my toolbox. I use it on both remote linux machines and locally on my MacOS install.

A friend writing about desktop environments reminded me of a few things as I consider a future switch to a Linux desktop.
