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.

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”.

    Idk, XDG is weird.
    “Music”, “Documents”, “Downloads”, “Public” and “Templates” are in Ukrainian;
    “Public” and “Downloads” are duplicated in English;
    “Desktop” is just English;
    “Images” is in Russian for me for some reason.

    No Projects despite me updating recently, I guess it just gave up.
