Perhaps by a var or/and os-wide configs?
Maybe not, but nothing stops you making it, or particular things inside
it, symlinks to better locations. My local machine:
[~]fleet2*> ls -ld .local
drwxr-xr-x 3 cameron cameron 96 27 Jun 2020 .local
[~]fleet2*> L .local/
total 0
drwxr-xr-x 3 cameron cameron 96 27 Jun 2020 .
drwxr-sr-x+ 223 cameron cameron 7136 16 Jul 08:22 ..
drwxr-xr-x 5 cameron cameron 160 26 Jul 2021 share
[~]fleet2*> L .local/share
total 0
drwxr-xr-x 5 cameron cameron 160 26 Jul 2021 .
drwxr-xr-x 3 cameron cameron 96 27 Jun 2020 ..
drwxr-xr-x 3 cameron cameron 96 27 Jun 2020 direnv

I keep a lot of things in ~/var, a lot of configs in ~/rc, yea, even to
the point of:
[~]fleet2*> ls -ld .config
lrwxrwxr-x 1 cameron staff 2 11 May 2017 .config -> rc
and machine specific configs in ~/rc-local.
Won't do for me - fails with any bit more "complex" case
when multiple nodes are involved and user landing on each
such node would have unique/different '.local' dir, having
whole home dir net mounted.
I was hoping (& expecting) that would be controlled via a
env var but it does not seem that way - which makes me
wonder - that must the software which knows/chooses '.local'
internally or might ignore that all rogether and use own
path(s), if it is not the OS providing that information? hmm..
thanks, L.
