Preferences file location in Linux

[snorkel]

I installed the AppImage from https://github.com/Korkman/macemu-appim ... r/releases on Linux Mint 22.1 and it runs fine. However I do not find the preferences file: ~/.basilisk_ii_prefs. I eventually tracked it down , ~/.config/BasiliskII/prefs along with xpram in the same directory. I would be curious to know if and where this location is actually documented.

This may or may not be related, but in my SheepShaver builds for macOS from kanjitalk755 source after October 2022 this appeared to be the location for the prefs and nvram files. When I found out, kanjitalk755 moved these files to where they used to be in January 2024, at least for macOS hosts. The builds between October 2022 and January 2024 used the prefs and nvram files in the old location if existed, but created these files in the new location if they did not exist in the old location. Confusion guaranteed.

Thank you for the explanation. Because this was my initial install the prefs file was created in ~/.config. Confusion, indeed.
