💖 KDE4-CONFIG 💖

okay so bestie, this is the kde4-config page from the KDE User's Manual, and it's literally the map to your whole KDE install 🗺️✨

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

            [--userpath type] [--install type]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so kde4-config is a command line program (yes, terminal girlies, this one's for us 💅) and its whole job is retrieving info about KDE installation paths or user paths.

use it when you need to figure out where all the different aspects of your KDE installation are actually living on your system. it's giving "where does everything go" energy and honestly? we're obsessed 🫶
