Please use $HOME instead of this. There are configurations that do not rely on the usual /home/$USER format. The root user is a good example, having their $HOME set to /root.

Oh heh, yeah, o’course! I wasn’t really meaning that seriously, more just riffing off the thread of silly $HOME expansions. :3

Probably good to mention that in case someone comes along and thinks /home/$(whoami) is actually a good idea though, hah.

(Mac has normal users’ homes in /Users!!)
