What is typically stored in /etc ?

System wide configuration files

Is it possible to tell my OS that it's always going to have only 1 non-root user and relocate all the ~/.config into /etc?

Programs may read from /etc, but it's not recommended. Instead, I recommend having your .config directory stored somewhere, or preferably, have all configs in a git repository (often called dotfiles) and deploy them on systems for example with stow
