Waybar will not use "valid [user] locations" for config file, defaults to /etc/xdg/waybar/config

I have checked my environment variables like XDG_CONFIG_HOME being set, and I have my files in ~/.config/waybar, but whenever I launch waybar it uses /etc/xdg/waybar/config. I am on fedora using the repo version. It WILL use a config file when specifying the config file path with waybar -c.

Do you spot something suspicious if your run waybar -l debug?

I'm pretty sure Waybar looks first in $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/waybar/config (just checked with strace waybar).
