~/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)

• /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

I am not good at organizing

~/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)

~/dev for code
~/work for things I don’t want to do, like taxes

projects, games, and programs are the non default folders in mine

~/{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.

At least two of these:
~/Stuff
~/Stuffs
~/Stuffz
~/Shits

Apps (local executables, appimages, etc.), Projects (Work, hobbies), Sync (things I need everywhere), tmp (files I will probably delete sooner than later), and Data. Also Vaults and Boxes, only if I need them.

Outside of some folders I made specifically because an app required it, I have a “games” folder for most of my games and a “.lutriswine” folder to have Lutris use a different directory from Wine.

~/Transfer

for SyncThing

~/proj
~/note
~/sync
~/docs (/book etc)
~/imgs ~/util ~/test ~/temp

I have internal RAID1s that store at least two directories apart from any OS or home dev.

…/repos …/misc

Misc contain timestamp fstabs, mdadm.conf, rust/python/apt user-inatalled package names, among other notes and small files.

I also sync my master org directory between my documents snapshots and the repos dir
