Help. I recently switched over to linux (because windows sucks). I love

should be under "filesystem," right? But it's not... Can anyone tell me
where my .wine dir might be?
It is a hidden directory, but it is located in users home directory. For
example if your username is noob, it would propably be /home/noob/.wine/
You can get there from command line by command: cd ~/.wine
(The ~ is for getting to your home directory, so simple: cd .wine is
enough, if you are already at your home directory (for example /home/noob/ ) )
And from GUI, if you are using for example Ubuntu and Nautilus as your
filemanager, it you make sure that "view->show hidden files" is selected.

To clarify just a little. Linux (Unix) does not really have a concept of a
hidden file. However, programs which list files (like "ls") abide by a
convention that files whose names begin with "." are not listed. This goes
back a long way. It probably started with avoiding listing "." (a special
name that points to its directory) and ".." (another special name which
points to its parent directory). It was probably easier to ignore anything
that began with "." rather than test for the special cases. Following this
people who wanted not to clutter their file listings with configuration
files and directories took to naming them such that they began with a ".".
