Linux

I wish they would combine Pictures and Videos into Media.

And that's where it should stop.

I love this! Now to remove other unwanted folders like templates and music

i deleted an empty project folder yesterday... i just assumed i made it and forgor about it

Sigh... Yet another thing pushed by the self-appointed nannies at freedesktop.org that I will have to manually undo on practically every new account.

At least it will probably be configurable, unlike Canonical's infamous ~/snap directory.

the "for as long as I remember, Linux has always had a set of default folders.."

lmao..

they've been bugging me with their presumptuousness for decades.

They can't ask if we want those things?

Sure, I can understand people coming-from the MS-Windows paradigm needing such things done for them, but to just presume that everybody wants the defaults?

Why not simply ask, in the 1st-login, if the user wants such defaults?

Opt-in, rather than opt-out, you know?

I add a ~/prog directory, that I'm certian many who either program or are trying to learn programming, add.

Does that mean it ought be a default?

Why would I want a Public folder in my homedir?

_ /\ _

Pure bloat. I will be personally switching to the Hurd Kernel just because of this change.

I'm more of a fan of /Projects

then syncthing that between all my boxes.

~home is great on shared systems, but my projects should be in the same place for all my local accounts on my non-shared box.

This breaks my workflow. I always add a workspace folder for such things.
