When first reading the README, I thought extra configuration would be needed on Linux because of conflicting defaults — the default user directory here is ~/.config/emacs, so no-littering's defaults of ~/.emacs.d/var/ and ~/.emacs.d/etc/ would need adjustment. After looking at the code, however, I realized that no-littering already places var and etc under user-default-directory, whatever that is. This change aligns documentation with what code is already doing (at the cost of slightly heavier prose).
