# Extended Base Directory Standard The extended base directory standard provides additional locations not apart the offical standard. These are somewhat experimental. ## Resource XDG['RESOURCE_HOME'].environment.assert == ENV['XDG_RESOURCE_HOME'].to_s XDG['RESOURCE_HOME'].environment_variables.assert == ['XDG_RESOURCE_HOME'] Looking at the data home location by default it should be pointing to our joe users home directory under `.local`.
