 .SH CONFIGURATION
-pamix looks for a configuration file in $XDG_CONFIG_HOME (or $HOME/.config if it's undefined) and $XDG_DATA_DIRS (or /usr/share if it's undefined) called pamix.conf.
+pamix is configured using a file called pamix.conf inside the $XDG_CONFIG_HOME or $XDG_DATA_DIRS directories or their default values, should they not be set.
 .br
-If no config file is found pamix will use its default configuration (see section DEFAULT CONFIGURATION)
+$XDG_CONFIG_HOME will be preferred over $XDG_DATA_DIRS.
