Subject: [PATCH] For Linux service users, (#1236)

* For Linux service users,
use `appdirs.AppDirs().site_data_dir`
instead of `appdirs.AppDirs().user_config_dir

* somewhat important for this to be changed consistently

* need to import os to use it

* travis doesn't like how I was checking in config_dir had been set.
