I use the same init for both Windows and Linux.

I would like to simplify my file and use variables for some file locations (using a variable in agenda section, etc).

What is the right way to do that in lisp?

Is it as simple as this?

(setq win-file-location '("c:/Users/Username/Desktop/filename.org"))

(setq linux-file-location '("/home/username/Desktop/filename.org"))

    Using expand-file-name and (getenv "HOME"), you can use the same variable on multiple systems.

    (setq file-location (expand-file-name "Desktop/filename.org" (getenv "HOME")))
