What's the proper way to store an apps settings?

For my current (and first) app I'm for now just grabbing the `$HOME` environment variable and stuff a file in `$HOME/.config/app/settings`, but this is just for local dev and testing.

Once I'm distributing it through OpenRepos I'd like to do it the proper way (if there is one).

edit: Thanks for the hint, coderus. I've gone with:

Code:

QStandardPaths::writableLocation(QStandardPaths::AppConfigLocation)

https://doc.qt.io/archives/qt-5.6/qstandardpaths.html

Code:

QStandardPaths::writableLocation(QStandardPaths::DataLocation)

If you use QSettings class it will automatically create file in correct location.
