   I'm fine with them using my home folder. It'll just get backed up on a   
   routine basis and make restoration easier if/when necessary. Also useful for   
   bringing a new rig online and wanting to copy my things over to it.   
      
   I'm going to leave a .config folder in my appimage folder so they can store   
   their settings right there and I can just copy it all over in one go when I   
   do the backups.
