Not so fast my dear, just this year I finally adopted the default home-directory structure of my linux distro (Document, Pictures, Music, Video, etc.) in my workflow. I'm not ready for more big obvious changes like this. ;)
- makapuf 1y agoAm i the only one to generally find those directories getting in the way ? I have very few videos or music, or even images worth storing as images and not related to other documents. Downloads and documents might be useful but then, documents is almost everything that is not online so why not put it in $HOME. And I don't like capitalized folders but that's me.
- _9ptr 1y agoI put my media files in other folders, just to spite Microsoft
- eadmund 1y agoman 5 user-dirs.dirs I hate the default directory names, and like you I hate the capitalisation — fortunately they can be overridden.
- makapuf 1y agoThanks. But then, starting discussion, what would be a sensible directory choice? downloads, backups ? Nothing?
- spauldo 1y agoNope, I've hated those for years. Seriously, capitalized directory names?
- rambambram 1y agoI 'hated' this too for a long time, but I finally gave in. It now also matches my backup workflow perfectly. And now I don't have to tweak that much after installing a new distro. Sometimes my tools have to adapt to me, sometimes I adapt a little to my tools.
