Even on Linux, the folder should now be ~/.AndroidStudio1.2 Android Studio inherits this behavior from IntelliJ (~/.IdeaIC13, ~/.IdeaIC14, etc). The confusion probably comes about because Android Studio 1.0 to 1.2 transition is actually a major version transition for IntelliJ (13 -> 14). They seem to change this folder across major versions.
As far as compatibility issues, we noticed that sometimes they change the format of the saved indexes/caches, which led to odd behaviors. So we change it to be conservative. Finally, as far as changing it, you could try setting idea.paths.selector in the user config folder as described here: http://tools.android.com/tech-docs/configuration. I'm not entirely sure if it'll work though..
