It took 11 years, but @razze and I managed to create a folder on Linux... https://blog.tenstral.net/2026/04/hello-projects-directory.html #freedesktop

    @matk@mastodon.social @razze@osna.social TIL about the Projects dir! Neat and I would've loved to have had that... 3 years ago or so, but now I already have my own /home//dev dir pattern going so I'll have to stick with that 😅

    @matk@mastodon.social That feature request is so old, it dates to just before I got my first non-prebuilt desktop built and Linux installed on it.

    @matk@mastodon.social > If you do not like the “Projects” folder, simply delete it! The xdg-user-dirs utility will not try to create it again Oh, that's (relatively) nice. Is that a change in behaviour for xdg-user-dirs dirs generally, or is it just for "Projects", or am I misremembering that those directories get re-created on deletion?
