The XDG Base Directory Specification recommends ~/.local/bin for "user-specific executable files". https://specifications.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/latest/index.html#variables systemd also recommends that same directory for "executables that shall appear in the user's $PATH search path". https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/latest/file-hierarchy.html#Home%20Directory https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/latest/file-hierarchy.html#~/.local/bin/ I would say that meets your requirements as stated. -- Michael Kjörling 🔗 https://michael.kjorling.se “Remember when, on the Internet, nobody cared that you were a dog?”
