> How so? The actual software of which the configuration belongs to is chromium (or "notes"), not snap, snap is "just there" in the middle.
Say I want to wipe snap's configuration, I should be able to wipe `$XDG_DATA_HOME/snap` without losing my n+1 snap application's data. Very simply put, `$XDG_DATA_HOME/snap` is for snap, `$XDG_DATA_HOME/chromium` is for chromium. It would be equally silly to have i386 software use ``$XDG_DATA_HOME/i386/software`. Thirdly, it creates a discrepancy in configuration folder location between distributions, which is pointlessly annoying and hinders distro- hopping. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of UBUNTU - AL - BR, which is subscribed to Chromium Browser. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1887804 Title: chromium-browser does not follow XDG base directory specification Status in Chromium Browser: New Status in chromium-browser package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Currently Chromium does not follow the XDG base directory specification which means that the cache and configuration folder aren't properly used. This causes the issue that it's nearly impossible to properly migrate or back up Chromium configuration (between computers) and it makes for example mounting cache as tmpfs or wiping it very very difficult. I felt those both immensely when trying to migrate my home folder, gigabytes of cache in ~/snap/chromium/[id]/.config/chromium/[folder] (and ~/snap itself is also not XDG base directory specification compliant, shame!). There's also the issue that the previous configuration that is located properly, isn't migrated by the migrational package. In order to fix this bug, it would require making the snap package follow the XDG base directory specification.
