[New Feature] Have the Linux app follow XDG Desktop standards for folders #5081
Description
Would it be possible to have the viewer use the standard Linux folder setup rather than throwing everything into a .secondlife folder in your home directory?
Config files in ~/.config
Cache files in ~/.cache
App data in ~/.local/share
Etc.
This would make it much easier to manage files since it would be one less app filling a user's home directory. Even major web browsers like Chrome and Firefox have moved away from the dot folder in ~/home in favor of this approach (albeit it took Firefox 20+ years to do so). This would also help when users are helping other Linux users since the viewer would be following the standard locations Linux applications are expected to be using.
The main issue with moving to this would be if any paths are hard coded instead of using variables. Any instances of this would need to be replaced with the appropriate variable for whatever new location is needed.
