Assuming you're on Linux, it should be in your $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/openxcom folder.

However, with 1.0 you no longer need to edit the .cfg file to use mods, you can just enable them in-game from the Options > Mods screen.

If you don't have XDG, it will probably be somewhere in your Home user folder, inside a .config/openxcom subfolder (note that these are normally invisible in file explorers, so you might have to type in the path manually or access it through command-line)
