- Configuring directories
- From forum post [1]: "An (easier) alternative is to set the environment variable FREECAD_USER_DATA to point to the requested directory. The suggestion to set $HOME doesn't work. It does not even work under Linux because internally we don't check what's set to HOME but use some system specific API function instead."

Discussion
- This is mentioned on Download (Notes for GNU/Linux users), I wasn't sure if it would be better to put it in Start up and Configuration or on the Download page which already has a section for a portable Windows version. I believe the behaviour should be changed to adhere to the established standards on Linux (
$XDG_…
variables and$HOME
and the.config
,.cache
,.local/share
folders), which could then be documented. I have drafted a list of points that would need changing at User:Suzanne.soy/Data_storage:_RFC, please feel free to add some comments there. Suzanne Soy (talk) 05:17, 8 February 2021 (UTC)
