Use .cache instead of .config/discord/Cache on Linux

~/.config is supposed to be used for app configuration

 

Using it to store non config related data (such as Cache, images, modules, etc) is making it harder to backup the configuration...

 

Please use ~/.cache for that, this is what its meant to do

  Just discovered this issue when helping someone migrate to a new computer and I'm dumbfounded that this was reported two actual years ago and is still an issue. Doesn't look like the cache files are deleted regularly (if at all) either so disk space usage is a concern as well as backups/migration.
