Linux is Getting a New Default Folder in Your Home Directory (itsfoss.com)

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 wish they would combine Pictures and Videos into Media.

And Music? But they'd still need subfolders to keep the content organised and then it begs the question why hide it all away a whole layer lower down from the Home folder?

Pictures and Videos typically refer to personal media, whereas music would refer to professional media. I don’t think grouping them into a single media directory would usually make sense.

Holiday videos goes into pictures and movies into Videos?

Oh, that's what I do, you just have to customize it. I have media with images, music and videos inside.
