    I’m not sure I understand. So you create a symlink from $HOME/.program.ini to something in the nix store? If so, how does that solve the problem of clutter in $HOME ?

      You’re right, it doesn’t. That does give me an idea though.

      You could use overlayfs with an opaque upper directory to hide the files littering your $HOME and still access them by bind-mounting them into the appropriate xdg dirs.

      Way more effort than it’s worth, of course.
