dotfiles live in your home directory almost exclusively.

Literally there’s no tooling I know of that will drop random hidden files.

The ext4 filesystem does have a special hidden directory for data partially recovered/corrupted

On that note, ZFS has a hidden ".zfs" directory for accessing filesystem snapshots.

That works with ZFS shared over the network (samba, etc) too, which can be useful. :)
