Documentation for location of Global Rules on linux appears to be wrong #5153

Description

What happened?

The documentation at https://docs.cline.bot/features/cline-rules states

Once you save the file:
Your rule will be stored in the .clinerules/ directory in your project (if it’s a Workspace Rule)
Or in the Documents/Cline/Rules directory (if it’s a Global Rule).

But on my linux (actually WSL) system, the Global Rules appear to be stored in the directory ~/Cline/Rules/

Steps to reproduce

1.See documentation at https://docs.cline.bot/features/cline-rules
2.Create and save a new global rule
3.ls -l ~/Cline/Rules/
4. See new global rule listed in ~/Cline/Rules/
