I think the default location of config file should be changed from ~/.jupyter
to ~/.config/jupyter
.
Jupyter can search in the old location for backwards compatibility.

In jupyter_core
5.0, this can be delegated to platformdirs, and in jupyter_core
6.0 this will be the default behavior. So the default will follow the XDG Base Directory Specification instead of yet another made-up-something-something location. However, a number of tools don’t use jupyter_core
to find their files, so there will be a period where some breakage might be expected.
Thanks!!!
Indeed exporting JUPYTER_PLATFORM_DIRS
to 1 make jupyter notebook --generate-config
generates the config file in ~/.config/jupyter
!
