How is that should be

It works

System information

FreeBSD 13

[patmaddox]

In #1545 I added explicit support for FreeBSD. Instead of this approach, I wonder if it would be worth defaulting to /home/ on POSIX systems, and have Windows be the one exceptional case? The only system-specific config is the home dir.

I don't have access to a windows machine for testing, so I don't know exactly what it would be, but something like:

if "win" in platform:
    self._pathlib_home = PureWindowsPath() / "C:\\Users\\"
else:
    self._pathlib_home = PurePosixPath / "/home/"

or perhaps it's even simpler:

self._pathlib_home = WindowsPath("C:\\Users\\") if "win" in platform else PosixPath("/home/")

That way it would work on any BSD, solaris, etc.
