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 always change the defaults to another place and to have another naming. Just camel casing those folders is already stupidly annoying. I guess one more silly one into another folder out of view.

I already do the following:

  • media with images, music and videos inside
  • changes to small case for desktop and download
  • change documents to docs
  • create another folder called shares which I moved the public folder inside.
  • hide the templates folder that nobody knows what is it for, so it becomes .templates
  • no idea what the projects is supposed to be about, maybe I can map it to the already existing dev folder...

    I think the templates folder is for the "New File" items, I forget how it works but you can make custom new files similar to new Text File, Empty File, etc
