+// Patch for on Linux when `XDG_CONFIG_HOME` is not available, `node-log-rotate` creates the folder with `undefined` name.
+// See https://github.com/lemon-sour/node-log-rotate/issues/23 and https://github.com/arduino/arduino-ide/issues/394.
+// If the IDE2 is running on Linux, and the `XDG_CONFIG_HOME` variable is not available, set it to avoid the `undefined` folder.
+// From the specs: https://specifications.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/latest/ar01s03.html
+// "If $XDG_CONFIG_HOME is either not set or empty, a default equal to $HOME/.config should be used."
