I want to make a cross-platform desktop app which has a small config file on local filesystem.
Where is the best path to store application data on each OS?

Usually games or apps whose data is to be stored,and not deleted even after uninstalling the app itself,is stored in the users own path:

C:/Users/username/appdata

The appdata directory is hidden so you can either go there from cmd,or unhide it from:

folder options(search in windows tab)/view

Hope this was useful.
