    auto installing in the home directory is like walking into someone’s house and putting your feet up on their table. so rude.

      I’ve seen some programs put their shit in ~/Documents which is even worse.

        This nonsense is why I’ve never set my XDG_HOME_DIRS to their actual values. A convenient button in file browsers isn’t worth the intrusion.

    I’d like to know which one is creating /.Trash-1000. Yes, at the root folder. No, I don’t have any other OS installed in this system but linux

      The kde default explorer dolphin does.
      It creates them at the root of separate partitions (or maybe only network mounts).
      Basically as a fallback to moving it slowly into a local trash.

      You probably have the system mounted elsewhere and are accessing it remotely with dolphin would be my guess.

      Last time I encountered it I found no good solution, it’s very anyoing.
      Best workaround is to create a file of the same name as the folder, that way at least it stays empty.
