How to save in the documents directory on linux.

0 votes

I cant find any infomation on trying to save on to the users file system, I want to create a simple settings folder in the documents folder, but I cant figure out what the correct path is, for example this is the path I have for my system "/home/name/Documents/" but I dont know how to make it so name is global since name is different on every system and I seem cant access, what is user:// when trying to save it doesnt save anything.
