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”.
Y’all don’t just do everything out of your Downloads folder?
~ is kinda hard to reach. I just put everything in root so I just have to type / once to find everything.
/s
Everything is just in /. I patched directory support out of ext4.
Oh cool I’ll also start using “/s” folder
My wife’s Windows 10 desktop can fit one more icon. Just need to overlap a few others here and there.
Documents for me, but yeah
I like this idea. I’ve been doing pretty much the same thing for a while now, though it’s been a subdirectory of Documents.
I made SO MANY directories under home that could have just been ~/Projects that I’m annoyed with myself for not doing something so simple.
… I’ll be using the projects directory heavily going forward
As someone who has used ~/Projects for years and has syncing and other setup around it I am (very slightly) terrified this change could somehow fuck with me.
Please let this just be a mkdir call that will fail.
I think that’s what normal people have been doing for decades.
