On Cinnamon and LxQt, the trash is in ~/.local/share/Trash. Is it the same for all desktop environments?

${XDG_DATA_HOME}/Trash is fairly common and afaik the default in Gnome and KDE

FreeDesktop.org trash spec

Also fyi there's trash-cli

I have rm aliased to trash-rm (not in sudo tho, so I can still force true deletion), so that if I remove something in terminal it also goes to trash.

You can empty the trash via trash-empty

It also uses ${XDG_DATA_HOME}/Trash (usually ~/.local/share/Trash)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
