Is the path "~/.kde/share/config/kdeglobals" still used in Plasma 6.1 on Arch, or can I safely remove it?

It is the only file in there.

On my system, it supposedly hasn't been modified since 2022, and hasn't been accessed since January. ~/.config/kdeglobals was modified today. You could just rename it to kdeglobals.bak and see what happens.

Anything happened since then? Is your system still working fine?

They died. But it was unrelated

All seems well after a reboot. I was asleep the last few hours. ;)

Is KDE still not using ~/.config/ ? (I'm not a KDE user)

It does, but since I used Plasma 5 before, there are some old files scattered around in my home folder.

I think if you can find the same file inside .config it should be ok to remove it.
Just in case keep a backup of that file.

An easy way to test, and revert, is to just rename the top level folder.

I don't have a ~/.kde for a long time, but I did set my xdg dirs years ago too.
