Don't store current theme in ~/.cache on linux. #667

Open m00nwtchr opened 2 years ago

The cache should not be used to store user preferences, only temporary generated files.

Possible alternative locations: (In order of preference)

~/.local/state ($XDG_STATE_HOME)
~/.config

This is application state, it should live in XDG_STATE_HOME not in ~/.cache and most definitely not in ~/.config, especially since it may be read-only.
