MPV config location

I'm new to Linux and trying to find out where the mpv.conf file is located so I can mess with it a bit. I've tried searching for the location but all I'm getting are locations that either do not exist on my PC or to folders that are empty... The official site manual says it could be in /usr/local/etc/mpv/mpv.conf, but the /etc/ folder is completely empty. Then it says most Linux distributions will set it to /etc/mpv, but there's no mpv folder in /etc/. Some reddit threads say it's in /.config/mpv/ but I can't for the life of me figure out where that even is. I tried just searching "mpv" in Dolphin but none of the results look right.

I installed MPV via Bazaar, if that matters.
