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".

Interesting. I guess I'm not that far along (sort of stalled now), and quite possibly may never really need that.

Though for this one:

Some examples I usually have in my computers are ‘newFile’, ‘newTextFile.txt’ (just blank text files)

creating a blank file and renaming to .txt before editing seems good enough for me.
