       @itsfoss oh nooooNow I need to move all my Projects-X, Projects-Y etc. under Projects🤣. Which is survivable I suppose, a one time hassle, but should it beProjects-- Projects-Xor Projects-- XThis is the type of existential question that keeps me awake at night 😅

       @itsfoss almost certainly will move all my Projects from~/Documents/private_documents/developer/... to just ~/Projects. It will be strange adjusting to the new workflow.Although it will break a lot of symlinks, as I tend to symlink files to so the Nextcloud doesn't upload the same file twice as it does with hardlinks.

       @itsfoss I’ve always created this directory manually anyway.

       @itsfoss uhh, what happens if you already have a Projects directory? Merge or overwrite?

       @itsfoss this is not the best option for OSS developers who made the choice to have their project folder at the root of the filesystem.plus some dev environments could potentially taint sources and debug binaries by leaking absolute paths containing the username, which may be seen as a step back in terms of security/privacy

       @itsfoss as long as you can rename it or remove it in ~/.config/user_directories or what its name as usual I don't care.

       @itsfoss my `Projects` directory is actually called `Workspaces`.But what would be about an additional `Playground` next to it? It should be this kind of temporary place as `Downloads`.
