@green@mk.absturztau.be historically, on windows, i've used ~/Desktop/, then it got too cluttered so put my stuff and things inside of ~/Desktop/stuff and things/. eventually, i realized that was silly and essentially migrated to ~/Documents/ and kept specifically coding stuff (repos) neatly organized in ~/Documents/Code/ (essentially, this was my XDG_PROJECTS_DIR, although i didn't use XDG basedirs) then, i switched to Linux, and never got as organized. i think the main reason i now keep everything in just ~/ is the fact that i never bothered to set up a graphical file manager. so like, the visual clutter (e.g. why i stopped putting everything on ~/Desktop/) doesn't really matter. i simply do not have to look at it. so instead, i just remember the paths of the things i care about. the added components actually make this worse on the terminal, because names get longer. i think my previous approach was more optimized for GUI file management.
