psi-im
Very weird cannot understand why there is a ~/.local/share/psi ?
What is more confusing is this folder contain relinks to my home directory ? I just can't understand it.

Why did psi do this when I started it last ?
For reference, I am on Debian Testing and the file system is BTRFS
It's a standard location to store local data (for example downloaded chat themes, icons, locally installed plugins etc). I don't understand why you mention xorg.conf. It has nothing to do with Psi.
It may be, but it basically made a complete reflink copy of my whole home directory. This is very odd behaviour and if I had not caught it by accident it would have gobbled up disk space. So when I deleted it, it went from.
/dev/mapper/vg-home 2.6T 2.5T 101G 97% /home
to
/dev/mapper/vg-home 2.6T 2.2T 418G 85% /home
The example was just to show the files were identical but on different inodes, eg. a reflink It was just one file of my whole home dir.
Well no any single idea. Psi copies nothing from /usr/share. So maybe some 3rdparty software did some weird stuff.
