xdg basedir spec not properly implemented

• I am on the latest Hyper.app version

• I have searched the issues of this repo and believe that this is not a duplicate

• OS version and name: Linux manjaro 5.10.56-1-MANJARO #1 SMP PREEMPT Thu Aug 5 10:51:27 UTC 2021 x86_64 GNU/Linux

• Hyper.app version: 3.1.2

• Link of a Gist with the contents of your .hyper.js:

• Relevant information from devtools (CMD+ALT+I on macOS, CTRL+SHIFT+I elsewhere): I don't know how to get this on startup, I'm not sure if it happens otherwise

• The issue is reproducible in vanilla Hyper.app: probably? this is the AUR bin distribution, I don't believe they've modified the AUR PKGBUILD in any way, or any meaningful way, it looks like it's just extracting and installing.

trying to figure out my config woes I noticed there's a lot of stuff in ~/.config/Hyper that shouldn't be.

for example, *Cache should be in .cache. That's not the only thing.

Start by tracing where Hyper creates and stores the files listed under ~/.config/Hyper, then compare those locations with the freedesktop.org basedir specification linked in the issue. Done means configuration remains in the appropriate config directory while caches and other runtime data are placed in the corresponding XDG directories on Linux.
