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”.
But why are the names
camelPascal cased? It’s a little bit more annoying to type.Seconded, I hate that every file is all lowercase but my home directory if filled with Downloads, Videos, Documents, etc…
You can customize the names with a
~/.config/user-dirs.dirsfile. That will work on XDG-compliant programs. instructionscd downloads

time for a new shell or enable ‘set completion-ignore-case on’ in bashrc
Windows user appeal?
Appeals to Java programmers too.
So does self-flagellation, but we don’t provide default whips in the Kernel.
And Mac.
Hell, Mac even capitalizes /Users (where home folders are)!

Yours are camel case? That’s weird. My folders are pascal case.
Indeed, fixed.
