I've just installed a fresh Raspberry OS on a Pi 2+/-, and uploaded pico-8. User pi. I am under the impression that it should be putting carts, config.txt, and other stuff here:

/home/pi/.lexaloffle/pico-8/

But it is empty, even after I've spun up splore, changed a few configs from inside the IDE, written and saved a program from inside the IDE, etc.. There is nothing there. It IS retaining config changes between boots, so I know it is keeping that info somewhere.

What super-obvious thing am I missing here?

Yours, etc.
