The readme has a complete section about the directory where it stores openttd.cfg.

Since unix exists much longer than windows, it is more likely the other way around.

Also you can blame that failure on your search tool, apparently it is too 'user friendly' for any real searches.
If you had used the standard unix 'find' command, you would have found the file:

Code: Select all

$ find $HOME -name openttd.cfg
