I use CLI in Windows all day long, but I don't expect normies to have to learn it.

Case insensitivity goes brrr

or just use fish shell

It's Linux. You're supposed to name your user data folders
~/doc
~/dsk
~/dwn
~/mus
~/pic
~/vid

or even better, just use /tmp as your download folder.

You don't keep stuff in /dev/null?

[–] rottingleaf@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

dl, sh, src, var, old, pic, app, books

that's mine. No bin yet - it's a new installation with a home_old.tar.zst file for the old.

EDIT: Of course I do have a Downloads directory, I've just forgot to alias it to something more pleasant yet.

~/Documents showing up in my tab completion

[–] SatyrSack@feddit.org 14 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Create a symlink if that behaviour bothers you

ln -s ~/Downloads ~/downloads

Bonus for solving another common point of confusion with ~/Downloads:

ln -s ~/Downloads ~/Download
ln -s ~/Downloads ~/download

Won't this be annoying because you'll suddenly have 4 entries for the same thing when you ls?

[–] Zachariah@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

symlinks are sexy

[–] madthumbs@lemmy.world -3 points 1 year ago

It doesn't. I don't use Linux anymore and was far from a 'noob'. I got over the issue after the first time and used a highly personally configured LF, aliases, and ZSH auto-suggest mostly anyway. -Appreciate the tips others might benefit from though. -Thanks!

I actually have it installed on Windows, but never got around to configuring (outside of Yazi for which I have bookmarks for) or using it. I also hesitated to get into it because I want to know the directory structure well so it's not a handicap. -It is popular AF though. Probably not something for normies though.

OP again with the pro move of posting their Linux issues on linuxsucks to bait Lemmy into suggesting fixes.

[–] synapse1278@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Never heard of zsh and oh-my-zsh ? Skill issue.

[–] thirteene@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

https://ohmyz.sh/ This is the way, the fuzzy corrects alone are worth it. Themes, git metadata, plugins and seamless onboarding.

I veto pull requests that have upper case directory or file names.
