I realized I always make a source folder under home and then subfolders named after programming languages to organize projects but then I realized I somehow had my own convention for how to store my source code and I have no idea where I got it from
Then I thought. what about other Linux users ?
What sorts of conventions do you have that pertains to folder structure in Linux ?
My homedir is an infernal hellhole of junk accumulated over the past 15 years and I wouldn’t have it any other way
Mine used to be the same but the last OS reinstall I reset everything, moved my files onto an external drive, and only copied them over on a needs basis. I’d been keeping the same home dir since I was like 4 or however old I was when I started using a computer. So needless to say there was a lot there that made me cringe to see every time I tried to navigate my files.
Mine used to be like that, but now my home folder is rehabilitated by turning ~/Documents into a hellhole of accumulated junk instead.
I’d love to keep it clean but too many devs think $HOME is up for grabs, as long as they prepend their directory names with a dot (they think I’ll never notice, but I notice, and I keep a list…)
Dafuq are you doing in other people’s homes?
Sysadmins are all creeps, confirmed
Breaking pots. Don’t mind me.
EDIT: holdup, who are you calling a sysadmin? I administer my system, sure, but that’s about as far as I’m willing to go, thank you.
Are those the Triforce triangles perhaps?
It might be?..
Oops, I meant to say: “hayaaa”
🛡️🗡️
There are 15 year olds using Lemmy??
/s (my documents folder is the same, but older … much a lot too many very older :|)
I just prepend everything in the home directory with a dot every 6 months or so, no problems so far
You can also just make a file called .hidden and paste the names in there and it’ll hide them, that way it doesn’t mess up any paths/symlinks etc. Or at least in KDE/Dolphin you can do that, I dunno about other setups.
