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 ?

    A projects folder, usually. All the other folders at the root of $HOME are created by some application or another (XDG folder creator, applications that don’t respect XDG).

    I make a YouTube subfolder to be downloaded YouTube videos in, and subfolders for podcasts, but those aren’t at the root of $HOME.
