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?
No documents are for documents.
You store git repo in your documents?!
I make it? Subfolder in documents.
I’m fucking with someone elses? Subfolder in downloads.
We have a Programs folder for programs we’ve written ourselves. (Then a “repos” folder for stuff we’ve cloned.)
Yes
Absolutely. Some under a work subfolder, some under various other sub-folder depending on what they contain.
Actually they all go in nextcloud/projects
