(I have a suggestion, what about to install by default the old good
heroin kernel module? It was able to hide running processes, files,
etc.)
Seriously, use hidden directory in unnecessary.
Note that there are a number of 3rd party projects making use of
~/.config/bin afaik, including jhbuild which installs its executable to
that dir.
It would be nice to clean up $HOME, radically reduce the number of
the subdirectories and config files in the $HOME. If *all* the garbage
will be in ~/local/{etc,bin,lib,var/log} then nobody will care if the
directory is hidden. My wish is
$ ls -ls ~/
drwxrwxr-x. 31 kzak kzak 4096 Jul 26 15:54 .
drwxrwxr-x. 13 kzak kzak 4096 Jul 26 15:49 ..
drwxr-xr-x 2 kzak kzak 4096 Jul 26 15:54 local
and nothing other, .mozilla, vimrc, bash_profile, .xsession-errors,
etc. all could be in ~/local, but then the directory should be really
visible.
