While Murex does not adhere to this standard, instead conforming to the de facto standard defined by the past precedents of previous shells, in order to offer flexibility for those who do prefer the XDG specification Murex does support overriding its own default paths via special environmental variables.&lt;p&gt;no no no you&amp;#x27;re missing the point: on POSIX systems, go with XDG by default. cmon guys it&amp;#x27;s 2023 not 2003</text></comment>
