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?

    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
