If you are using a rolling release distro like Arch, you might have noticed that your home directory now has a new member, a new folder called "Projects".

For as long as I remember, Linux has always had a set of default folders under the home directory. Usually they are Documents, Music, Pictures, Videos and Downloads. Templates, Desktop and Public folders are also there.

Now we have a new addition in the form of "Projects".

So does self-flagellation, but we don't provide default whips in the Kernel.

And Mac.

Hell, Mac even capitalizes /Users (where home folders are)!
