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”.
Now make all of default XDG directories lowercase. Nothing else is capitalized in the file system - why do these directories get an exception?
Edit the user-dirs.dirs file, done.
Yeah I know and KDE ans Gnome both have settings for this but as I used to setup a lot of machines it was always frustrating that the default is uppercase and some idiots don’t actually read the XDG preferences and have default uppercase directories hard coded
Yup, and everythjng done twice or even trice. I’m a sucker for efficiency who had some time on hand then, so i have my own environmemt setup and XFCE runner now, with clearly separated do xorg-stuff in X, XFCE stuff in XFCE, etc.
Oh wow I wish I knew this was possible earlier. Thank yoooouuu
Yessssss
You are supposed to use these often
Yes, that is the reason to make them lowercase, so I don’t have to shift when using the terminal to access my most used directories.
