I realized I always make a source folder under home and then subfolders named after programming languages to organize projects but then I realized I somehow had my own convention for how to store my source code and I have no idea where I got it from

Then I thought. what about other Linux users ?

What sorts of conventions do you have that pertains to folder structure in Linux ?

    Hardware folder (synced via sync thing). All hardware PDFs, notes images etc get subfolders by manufacturer. It is helpful for keeping track of use manuals, firmware or config settings for each piece of hardware.

      I have a ~/Sync folder with a symlink to all my Syncthing shares, which I have quite a lot of. Helps me find them quickly and reminds me that everything in there us pulled or pushed somewhere else.

        If you want it that way, but then I’d have a mix of synced folder and regular folders inside Documents.

        I like to keep if completely separate, for backing up user documents via dejadup differently than the synced stuff.
