1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    • Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    Not OP (OC? Not the person you were helping, you get what I mean), are you sure you meant df -h? fd -H seems more useful for to me when trying to find a specific file in a dotfolder, though even that didn't work on my system. fd ignores ~/.config by default, so you need to use fd -u (which is an alias for fd -I -H) to find the correct files.

    Anyways, from your description it seems like the correct file would be ~/.config/kwinrc, which exists on my system.

    It's probable there are better ways at finding things, but sometimes these commands are sort of muscle memory and I don't even think to explore what else is out there once I have something that works for me ;)

    It's hard to teach an old dog like myself new tricks. I still think git was a mistake and long for centralized revision control systems... Because that's what I grew up with ;)
