Possible to remove dotfiles by using a fake $HOME? #199

Would it be possible to automate something like what this article shows? It works by changing $HOME and launching applications from a script in ~/.local/bin. With this it may be possible to clean up .librewolf, .steam and others like it.

I tried this approach but it didnt work for some GUI applications which needed access for common apps config files (like ssh and aws creds). It may introduce other unknown issues as well

I am going to close this issue since it isnt the approach of this tool
