    @jandi @autumn Uhm.... i had no context about your knowledge .. and with so many ppl nowadays adopting linux for the first time .. well, i was just unsure if one just based his experience - and so the question - only on microslop windows knowledge... mh

    As a linux user (gentooisti) since decades .... my very first (internal) reaction truly was "tf, why should it overwrite stuff in ~/?" πŸ˜‰

    @hackbyte @autumn lol i should be offended!

    But you know, bugs are weird like that... maybe permissions, maybe dbus or anything... Just riffing on my first thought, I'm sure it will be mostly trouble-free.

        @hackbyte @autumn Not before answering in general, but before dropping veiled accusations it is preferable, yeah.

        No hard feelings, see you around.

          It may look like a small addition, but standardizing something many Linux users already do can improve workflows, application behavior, and even documentation over time.

                @itsfoss as long as you can rename it or remove it in ~/.config/user_directories or what its name as usual I don't care.

                  @itsfoss oh noooo

                  Now I need to move all my Projects-X, Projects-Y etc. under Projects🀣.

                  Which is survivable I suppose, a one time hassle, but should it be

                  Projects
                  -- Projects-X

                  or

                  Projects
                  -- X

                  This is the type of existential question that keeps me awake at night πŸ˜…

                  @openrisk @itsfoss
                  I use `Projects/<spaces>/<project_folder>`

                  `<spaces>` is something like e.g. a github-org under which I group the projects, is this what you X and Y refer to?

                  `<project_folder>` is a git working directory.

                  (For some exceptions, which I want to clean up one day, there is another level.)

                  Note: Actually my `Projects` is called `Workspaces` and it still resides at `~/Documents/Workspaces/`.

                  I wish you a good night ⭐

                    @itsfoss my `Projects` directory is actually called `Workspaces`.
                    But what would be about an additional `Playground` next to it? It should be this kind of temporary place as `Downloads`.

                      @white_gecko @itsfoss yes many of my X,Y, Z's are quite close to your "spaces", e.g., github or gitlab hosted, public / private etc. temporary trials, old stuff to sort out in a subsequent reincarnation etc. πŸ˜…
