This is actually one of my pet peeves. Acetone is far from the “universal plastic solvent” that it has as a reputation…
Ultem, aka pei actually does great with acetone: https://www.astisensor.com/ultem.pdf.
I use acetone pretty regularly on my sheets and I haven’t noticed any bad effects. Usually it is best to use soap and water, acetone and isopropyl alcohol. If things won’t stick, do all three (in that order).
This isn’t an argument against the standard way of doing things, it is an argument to follow the xdg standard, and use xdg environment variables, rather than creating a new unconfigurable directory in $HOME.
