When not finding a .nanorc file in the user's home directory, nano will look for a nanorc file in $XDG_CONFIG_HOME and in the ~/.config/nano/ fallback directory. And when not finding a .nano/ subdir in the user's home directory, nano will look for (or create) the history files in $XDG_DATA_HOME or in the ~/.local/share/nano/ fallback directory. This is a partial implementation of the XDG Base Directory Specification: https://standards.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/basedir-spec-latest.html , for the purpose of reducing the clutter in a user's home directory, and to make it easier to back up just the configuration files.
