"Wouldn't $XDG_DATA_HOME/subsurface which usually points to
$HOME/.local/share/subsurface be more suitable?
https://developer.gnome.org/basedir-spec/"

i would say -1 for $XDG_DATA_HOME as that doesn't seem to be
established very well, yet.
but $HOME/.local/share/subsurface is less intrusive than ~/.subsurface
IMHO, so +1 to that.

opinions?
