I don’t like the mess some software makes when it install in my system so I want to move it to a more appropriate place.

My questions are:

1- Where is the most appropriated directory for this? (some hidden folder made with this purpose, I thought linux had something like this as a standard)

2- How I move it without breaking anything?

    The appropriate directory’s are the XDG Base Directory, check this page on arch wiki to move them correctly. You can also use xdg-ninja and it will scan for these extra directories on your $HOME and tell you what you need to do to move them to their appropriate location or not if these directories are hardcoded or cannot be moved.
