The question remains:
How is a user-started process (e. g. when you run
the "startx" command) supposed to create directory
entries and files on root level /, a thing that
only root and root-like users (and programs!)
should be allowed to?
% mkdir /.config
mkdir: /.config: Permission denied
As a normal user, you _intendedly_ can't do this.
Why would you assume that a program you start
can do it?
Creating such data structures in a _user_ directory
is completely okay. But in / it simply sounds WRONG.
Sorry. JUST PLAIN WRONG!
