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".

Y'all don't just do everything out of your Downloads folder?

I thought I was the only one, it's just so easy to use it as your base working folder. Things get organized out as whatever it is moves forward to some arbitrary point.
