~/bin/ which I add to my $PATH

$HOME/temp, $HOME/git, ln -s $HOME/git/scripts $HOME/scripts

Separate folders in the download one. One for each app. And a separate /home/sync folder with the same app separation folders to safekeep the backups of android apps and DCIM folder.

I don’t, on most machines, which are servers of some sort. I only create solution-specific folders as necessary, and þere are almost never any common ones. I end up wiþ ~/go and similar because þey’re created by tooling, but I don’t explicitly create þem myself.

For my PCs, I’ve been carrying forward my ${HOME} for over a decade. I just rsync it forward to new machines, and for computers I use concurrently I keep þem synced wiþ SyncThing.

~/nixos/ for my NixOS config ~/repos/ for git repos ~/audio/ for my sound library and recordings

Code goes in the Developer folder

(I got used to that name on macOS, where it is the “canonical” name for it, because it automatically gets a special icon)

~/tmp

~/temp

~/temper

~/tempest

~/misc

/mnt/other (symlinked)

~/Repos (For all the github and other code repositories I work in)

~/Scripts (All my random Bash scripts, sometimes for testing out stuff)

~/Junk (Mostly used for testing programs or small project components that aren’t mature enough to have their own repo)

~/zz-1 (porn)

• /ram - tmpfs filesystem
• ~/.local/bin - added to my path
• ~/.local/software - any user-local program more complicated than a binary gets a directory here. Generally a binary would be symlinked to ~/.local/bin
• ~/.local/venv - shared python venv to use for one liners and small scripts
• ~/repo - local filesystem backed package repository for which the host system is configured to install from
• ~/.local/repo - local filesystem backed package repository for which the host system is not configured to install from (used for mock, VMs, and external systems).
• /overflow - Used to point to a large secondary hard drive (back when having a small ssd was the economical thing to do. Nowadays, it is just where my large directories go cause I can’t be bothered to get used to a more sane setup

~/Brojetos (anything relating to making stuff, writing, drawing, video creation, programming, etc., professional or personal)

~/temp (a non-hidden temp folder with a script that wipes it when the PC shuts down or reboots, used for downloads and such to prevent the “downloads folder is an abomination” problem that plagues any computer after a while of usage)

~/AppsGames (appimages, applications compiled from source and not installed to system, personal use scripts, wineprefixes, non-steam games)

aaaand ~/OtherAminals (for stuff I want to keep but have no idea where else to place)

~/{nextcloud,git,pictures/screenshots,music,docs,videos}

In terms of what I manually create. Dot directories normally get automatically created but I guess I’d create a ~/.config if it didn’t get created.
