Comment 2 for bug 1871164

@natsume-takashi No, XDG is a standard driven by freedesktop.org but
it doesn't have any (necessary) relation with a desktop environment.

Can read more here
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/XDG_Base_Directory or here
https://www.ctrl.blog/entry/xdg-basedir-scripting.html

The motivation of this standard is to have well-known locations to
make easy things like backups or roaming profiles.
