Sorry, I feel I've asked this before, but I can't find the answer in
the archives.

Where do Linux users expect preferences to be saved?

In Macs I use the specialFolderPath("Preferences").
In Windows I use specialFolderPath(26).

What is the Linux equivalent?

they expect it to be saved in their home folder ($HOME or ~) with a
name beggining with a "." (so that it be hidden) like:

.mySweetPrefsFile

so you can use URL "file:~/.mySweetPrefs"

They expect files to be concealed?

Personally I don't trust apps that hide things from me, and I'm very
surprised that the uber gurus who use Linux actually prefer hidden files.
