  i'm assuming the person can get that changed if desired
or change it themselves.  if not, then it would be a
rather strange situation IMO, to not have a home directory
and to also not have some other place to put things.

  that said, i've not looked at an Android, IOS, Mac, or 
Windows system in a long time and is why i've had to ask
here.  over the holidays i touched a Mac for the first 
time in over 30yrs (no i don't get out much :) ) and
wished i had more time to look into it more but couldn't.
it would have been nice to answer some of my questions
by a few minutes of poking around.

  at the moment i'm assuming that recent Mac's should
be posix and have a $HOME and allow for $HOME/.local/share
and $HOME/.config
