Description

It would be really nice if we could change the location of the Colima "home" directory to something other than ~/.colima.

For example, I tend to create directories in ~/.local/opt for tools like this, so it would be nice if I could set export COLIMA_HOME=$HOME/.local/opt/colima in my system configuration.

Alternatively, it would be nice if Colima supported the XDG Base Directory Specification. The config files would be located in XDG_CONFIG_HOME, the daemon socket could be located in XDG_STATE_HOME, etc.

I think many people nowadays like to keep as few "dotfiles" in their home directory as possible, and this would be a nice quality of life addition for those users.
