If you are using a rolling release distro like Arch, you might have noticed that your home directory now has a new member, a new folder called “Projects”.
For as long as I remember, Linux has always had a set of default folders under the home directory. Usually they are Documents, Music, Pictures, Videos and Downloads. Templates, Desktop and Public folders are also there.
Now we have a new addition in the form of “Projects”.
Those files all go in documents. Jesus, why are we doing it this way?
You store git repo in your documents?!
I make it? Subfolder in documents.
I’m fucking with someone elses? Subfolder in downloads.
Absolutely. Some under a work subfolder, some under various other sub-folder depending on what they contain.
Ok if you keep your working copies in ~/Documents where do you keep your documents?
Orthogonal: ~/Projects is a delusional name btw, everyone’s code should be in ~/Code
Put your crafting/woodworking/metalworking blueprints and schematics and stuff in ~/Projects
No documents are for documents.
