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".

Because any normal person would want it upper cased. Most people never type these folder names.

Yes, Linux should appeal to the masses, otherwise we will never get rid of Windows. No, this doesn't apply to anyone on Lemmy cause nobody on Lemmy right now truly qualify as "normal person", statistically speaking.
