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".

I also use a Projects folder. It looks like it probably won't break anything. Apps might start putting stuff there by default, hopefully in sensible subdirectories. There's a note in the article that you can create ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs to specify where you want files to go.
