Really, you use all of them? When you go on vacation and take some pictures and video of your family, do you then split those files between ~/Video/Beach2022/ and ~/Pictures/Beach2022?
I've never seen anybody do this, not on Windows, MacOS, or any linux DE. Instead you get something like ~/Desktop/Beach2022 or ~/Downloads/vacations/Beach2022 or generally, a single directory anywhere (often on a USB harddrive, not their home directory at all), but never do those vacation files get split by filetype into ~/Videos and ~/Pictures, that seems like utter madness to me.
- klodolph 4y agoI think pictures + videos from vacation are the exception. I definitely use the ~/Movies ~/Pictures ~/Music (or ~/Videos) folders to hold those types of media. I do this on macOS, Linux, and Windows.
- pdntspa 4y agoNot exactly, but as I poke around those folders on my desktop PC, all of them hold various things. If I didn't have a NAS they'd hold a lot more stuff too.
