not creating config in right place on linux

[xenoterracide]

• [x] I am on the latest Hyper.app version

• [x] I have searched the issues of this repo and believe that this is not a duplicate

• OS version and name: Linux manjaro 5.10.56-1-MANJARO #1 SMP PREEMPT Thu Aug 5 10:51:27 UTC 2021 x86_64 GNU/Linux

• Hyper.app version: 3.1.2

• Link of a Gist with the contents of your .hyper.js:

• Relevant information from devtools (CMD+ALT+I on macOS, CTRL+SHIFT+I elsewhere): I don't know how to get this on startup, I'm not sure if it happens otherwise

• The issue is reproducible in vanilla Hyper.app: probably? this is the AUR bin distribution, I don't believe they've modified the AUR PKGBUILD in any way, or any meaningful way, it looks like it's just extracting and installing. https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/hyper-bin

So the documentation says that on linux it should be ~/.config/Hyper/.hyper.js but if I go to hamburger -> edit -> preferences it's creating ~/.hyper.js

also I'm not sure that *either location is correct, as it doesn't seem to be loading my settings.

I'm seeing the same behavior on Mac with hyper installed from Hombrew. The docs say that ~/Library/Application Support/Hyper/.hyper.js is where I should expect the config, but ~/.hyper.js is created every time I restart Hyper.

Even if I manually create ~/Library/Application Support/Hyper/.hyper.js, ~/.hyper.js gets created and seems to be the only config file loaded.

On MacOS, I have the same behavior after installing it with the .dmg file.

I've confirm that issue on macOS with Hyper 3.1.3 as well. It seems this issue influenced to plugin installations as well.

I add plugins: ["hyperpower"] to ~/.hyper.js but the plugin is not installed (other configuration like font is applied). Moving it ~/Library/Aplication Support/Hyper/.hyper.js doesn't help (other configuration like font is NOT applied in this case).

~~Note that using Hyper 3.0.0 solves this issue but Hyper 3.0.2 thus it seems this issue has introduced from https://github.com/vercel/hyper/pull/3610?~~ (I'm not sure but I could not reproduce it anymore...)

Does anyone know workaroud for installing plugins...?

looks like they have used some odd method of defining the config location. its awfully static. see: hyper/app/config/paths.ts:14 it doesn't even dynamically look for your config in the advertised locations before setting. feels like false advertising but I'm gonna try and fix it...

Any news @Lite5h4dow ?
