One particular pain for me in VSCode is that it puts a .vscode folder in my repo, which I have to specifically exclude from git every single time. I can't expect other users of the repo to use vscode, let alone my settings synced to git. In firefox, it sometimes gets tricky finding the profile folder, as it changes across distros. Similarly, I always find it difficult searching for service files (there are at least 4 folders that I now know of). All of this searching around and doing little things used to be irritating - though you get used to it, and figure out shortcuts. TBH - windows has some of this too - I had to customise a bunch of stuff on first boot.
No clue about Nvidia - I hear they make something called GPUs but I have not been able to afford any, so can't say I relate.
That's pretty standard behavior for IDEs. Like Jetbrains IDEs store their config in a .idea folder in the root of the workspace, Visual Studio has a config directory in the root of the workspace, xcode probably does the same thing... It's standard practice, and a simple thing to account for - as you said, just add it to your .gitignore and you're golden. That allows people to use whatever IDE they want and configure it however they like.
Interesting. The default gitignore in Windows at least for both vscode and visual studio exclude those directories along with obj, bin, etc and a bunch of other non code files.
No user choice via variable.
Exactly that, it's messy and doesn't follow standards, making it harder to find specific files.
