KiCad creates sub folder in home folder on Linux.
Description
Recently Kicad-nightly started creating a directory structure in my home folder: /home/paul/kicad/5.99/
My home folder is precious and it is not the right location for programs to store configuration stuff. If I delete this directory structure, then KiCad re-creates it upon startup of the project manager.
KiCad has also made: /home/paul/.config/kicadnightly/5.99/ /usr/share/kicad-nightly
(Note the different spelling, with and without a dash).
