Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/debauchee/barrier/issues/294

Operating Systems

Server: Ubuntu 19.04

Barrier Version

2.1.2

Steps to reproduce bug

I just switched from Synergy to Barrier, and I had a hard time locating the Barrier config file.
It appears the name of the repository is used (.config/Debauchee) instead of the name of the application (.config/barrier).

It would be good to stick to the name of the application for consistency.

@AdrianKoshka, it is as simple as fixing this line:
2f86911c87/src/gui/src/main.cpp (L70)

Unless you want to have a migration plan to migrate .config/Debauchee to .config/barrier if .config/Debauchee exists.

This change will affect all platforms and on Windows the settings are buried in the registry so I think it's worth migrating them. I'll try to implement this.
