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”.
But why are the names camel cased? It’s a little bit more annoying to type.
Yours are camel case? That’s weird. My folders are pascal case.
Because any normal person would want it upper cased. Most people never type these folder names.
Yes, Linux should appeal to the masses, otherwise we will never get rid of Windows. No, this doesn’t apply to anyone on Lemmy cause nobody on Lemmy right now truly qualify as “normal person”, statistically speaking.
i feel normal but nobody knows that i am wearing Batman socks.
Seconded, I hate that every file is all lowercase but my home directory if filled with Downloads, Videos, Documents, etc…
You can customize the names with a
~/.config/user-dirs.dirsfile. That will work on XDG-compliant programs. instructionscd downloads

time for a new shell or enable ‘set completion-ignore-case on’ in bashrc
Windows user appeal?
And Mac.
Hell, Mac even capitalizes /Users (where home folders are)!

Appeals to Java programmers too.
So does self-flagellation, but we don’t provide default whips in the Kernel.
