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".

Luckily I created mine as projects so I don't have to worry about it writing a bunch of shit into my actual projects folder, or having to fix the xdg setting to disable it.

Ill have to check exactly what it writes there and see if i want to disable it
