How do you organize your home directory?
How do you organize your home directory?
mine is unix based:
~/bin # personal useful scripts
~/etc # unsorted things
~/etc/dl # default browser download folder
~/etc/p # wallpapers
~/dev # mount-point
~/dev/0 # external-hdd
~/dev/1 # random usb-stick
~/lib # my notes, tutorials go here
~/lib/man # about IT tutorials
~/usr # personal folder by username
~/usr/foo/m # foo's personal music library
~/usr/foo/passwd # foo's passwords
~/usr/bar/work # self-explained
all files under ~/lib are plain-text.
wtf
Order through chaos

~/HDD/School - i'm in uni now, but i've had this folder for 10 years already

~/HDD/LTS - things i need to move to external hdd
~/HDD/Media - music video images etc
~/HDD/txts - txts

and a bunch of config clutter

~/Downloads
~/Documents
~/Desktop
jfc
>Capital letters
That's what the XDG defaults are.
Although you can easily change it in a config file.
I don't use defaults; I just capitalize them because I come from macOS, where they are capitalized.
>Capitalized in macos
Capitalized in most unix based os's user
you realize you have a /media/USER folder for mounting right?
I don't
ever since I wanted to try Go and Go insisting on having a Go folder in your home directory I have given up on letting programming stuff clutter my home directory, but now it's easier to access everything at the cost of neatness so whatever
>single-letter
>lowercase
as Jow Forums does:
~/a/ -audio (Music)
~/b/ -video (Films, Series)
~/c/ -canvas (Images, Photos, Wall)
~/d/ -docs (Text files, Insurance)
~/e/ -etc (Random)
~/f/ -file (ISO, backup)
We are reaching levels of autism that shouldn't even be possible
~/projects has a folder for each of my projects, each folder has the same name as what appears on the gitlab project pages.
~/snippets code snippets, a general spot where I throw files where I was testing ideas and such
~/Pictures/ryuko pictures of ryuko
~/Pictures pictures not of ryuko
~/OneDrive is the folder used by the onedrive daemon, very convenient for moving files between devices/OSes. There is another ryuko folder here, but I can't sync everything because OneDrive has a 5GB limit so I have to keep the local folders as well.
All the other ones are the basic Documents, Music, etc.
You can change it with env variable
This
badly
