As someone who has used ~/Projects for years and has syncing and other setup around it I am (very slightly) terrified this change could somehow fuck with me.
Please let this just be a mkdir call that will fail.
I also use a Projects folder. It looks like it probably won't break anything. Apps might start putting stuff there by default, hopefully in sensible subdirectories. There's a note in the article that you can create
~/.config/user-dirs.dirsto specify where you want files to go.Nope. Only makes for new installs, and only uses it as a save spot default if the application asks for it. Should be no change at all.
New installs, or new users? I'd assume the latter?
When I read it originally (a bit back, maybe a week or two ago) it was new installs that was noted, though new users would make sense.
I guess I'll find out soon enough on a test box.
