Expected Behavior

• The local storage of the Ferdium-App on Linux should be separated into the XDG-Base-Directories defined in the XDG-Documentation.
• That way e.g. Backup-Tools that follow the Standard and exclude cached-dirs, can Backup the Ferdium configuration without bloating the backup with caches.

Possible Split:

Current-Path	Suggested-Path
~/.config/Ferdium/partitions	$XDG_DATA_HOME/Ferdium
~/.config/Ferdium/*Cache	$XDG_CACHE_HOME/Ferdium
~/.config/Ferdium/config	Stay where it is

Actual Behavior

• All Data, including cache and partitions, is stored in $XDG_CONFIG_HOME (~/.config/Ferdium).
• On a 1 day old Ferdium Install with 5 Services this can lead to over 1G folder size already.
• Backup tools normally include ~/.config which bloats the backup.
