shame I already make a "Programming" and "Kdenlive" folder before it

>>108787711
"projects" doesn't imply developers, it means any kind of productive work with a goal. In other words its a folder for productive work, something a consumer windows user wouldn't understand.

Good idea, I call mine Workspace.

You're all dumb niggers, the "Desktop" folder should be about "projects", otherwise what's its fucking purpose? Wasting space for abandoned launchers?
But nooo, we need yet another redundant freecancer.org shit forced down everyone's throat sitting there passive-aggresively enticing how to manage your personal work.

GNOME is an opinionated desktop environment. Don't like GNOME? Get gatekept, idiot.

Fuck XDG and Red Hat

It's where I keep my folders in which I attempt to save and catalog all of the internet's porno

Holy fuck you will kvetch and overreact about fucking anything these days, /g/. You're worse than women.

Lets add a Reaction folder by default too.

GOOD!

>>108787711
Projects doesn't have to be coding projects.
Could be 3d modeling, animation, photography, creative writing, non-creative writing, academic work, video editing, music composition, graphic design, CAD, or dozens of other kinds of projects one might work on on their PC.

project isnt 'meant for developers' , projects are what people use computers for be it video editing, CAD or even writing/whatever

linux is still a folder clusterfuck. I have apps that sprinkle data in so fucking many places like fuck that shit, it's like they're trying their hardest to leave traces everywhere in the OS.
also 20GB folder in ~/.config???? what the actual fucking fuck this shit must be fixed asap, I want order

I have gnome and the whole suite installed but I don't have this folder? Maybe install another distro if it bothers you

>>108787711
some of us use our linux installs to do work instead of ricing autismwm with neofetch and tranime wallpaper for plebbit screenshots

That's like the smallest, most insignificant problem with linux you could have latched on. It's a folder, you can delete it and it's gone.

there's an icon for projects on my icon theme but I can't change it on XFCE :(

~/.config is hilarious to be honest

I have stuff in there from programs I forgot I had ever installed. Doesn't match the pure ASMR of Windows Registry though

I like to keep my projects in my documents folder. Though, if I could choose another location. I would put my projects on a separate internal drive.

And for those who are wondering. The games folder is for emulator games. Not pc games. Those go into /opt or steam folders.

>>108787864
If by that you mean the opinion they follow is that the devs should be too lazy/incompetent to make anything decent then yes.
You don't need gates to keep people away, everybody is naturally driven away from a steaming pile of shit.

>>108787711
Don't like a folder? Delete it and make the system not make again. I didn't bitch about the useless 3d objects shit that windows 10 had alongside music and pictures, I just removed with regedit. I imagine it's easier on Linux to remove that folder.

>>108787711
>normalfags think projects means coding
Touch grass. Also, Linux is just a colonel. I've never even seen this directory on my distro, Gentoo.

i have mutliple hobbies and i just have each of them at the root ~/audio ~/art ~/dev why would you have a single project directory for everything

i just have my runner w/ rofi scan all the relevant project directories so i can search across all of them by name. one directory would be crazy big

>>108787711
you can delete that or literally put anything on it, are you fucking retarded? holy shit

But then everyone can see what you're working on.
>otherwise what's its fucking purpose?
To hold a wallpaper. I don't have a single icon on my desktop. I didn't even install the freedesktop shit so I can't put icons on my Desktop. To answer your original question, not everyone has a Desktop.

>>108789597

Lock the screen, move workspace or use codenames retard, there's no advantage with having a dedicated directory if your issue is having someone looking at your shit from behind your back

>To hold a wallpaper. I don't have a single icon on my desktop. I didn't even install the freedesktop shit so I can't put icons on my Desktop. To answer your original question, not everyone has a Desktop.
Fair, i would honestly prefer this kind of default rather than having freecancer.org shit assumed to be there.
