We Linux users suffer it. Supposedly, nowadays applications should store their files under ~/.config, ~/.local and ~/.cache, but you still find a million applications that create their own folders without following any standards. But at least file browsers hide those folders by default...

I'd have thought you could easily enable some fs-jail that maps any-and-every request matching /~/..+/i wherever you want?

I had never heard of it. Maybe it is possible, but I am too lazy to try it...

Do you have a link to documentation for that?
