And from reading the source code we see:

        SpecialFolder.Personal: ~/ (home directory)
        SpecialFolder.ApplicationData: 
        	First available folder from:
        		$XDG_CONFIG_HOME
        		~/.config
        SpecialFolder.LocalApplicationData: 
        	First available folder from:
        		$XDG_DATA_HOME
        		~/.local/share
        SpecialFolder.Desktop, SpecialFolder.DesktopDirectory: ~/Desktop
        SpecialFolder.CommonApplicationData: /usr/share
        Any other SpecialFolder value: "" (empty string)
        Any invalid SpecialFolder value: throws ArgumentException.
