MCL-13532Launcher puts GPUCache in Home Directory in Linux
The Minecraft launcher uses Chrome to display its interface, and Chrome creates a directory called GPUCache. Minecraft current stores it in the user's home directory. All other programs that use Chrome are kind enough to tuck it away somewhere.
I propose that the Minecraft launcher should do the same and place it in $XDG_CACHE_HOME/minecraft/GPUCache, so as to not clutter up user's home directories and to follow the XDG spec.
Environment
Void Linux, x86_64, Linux 5.2.28_1, Intel i5-7400, Intel HD Graphics 630

At some point this was moved.
So it is not in the home directory (although .minecraft is), but still should be moved in accordance to
