So tell me Sup Forums, how do you organize your home directory?

So tell me Sup Forums, how do you organize your home directory?
With all the work, movies/music, vm's directories.

Your font looks pretty gay, what is it called?

I keep all my personal files in the user directory, /usr/

The true way is to place all your personal files in the /tmp directory, write your programs in /sbin/ and place your books in /lib.

xdg-user-dirs

OP's image is ranger. It's good tool.

everything goes in ~/ and I don't organize it.

for me it's everything goes in ~/ or ~/Downloads

all my files are on a separate drive so I just make a symlink to it. I don't really keep anything of consequence in my home dir.

~/Things
~/Downloads

.
├── porn
│ └── cp_DELETE_ME
└── not-porn

I don't mind the default setup, honestly.
it jest werks. Is there a way to make the useless log files (.sudo-admin-as-root-succesful) and other unneeded files either not show up or be placed elsewhere so they're not in my home folder root?

Is ranger bettcr than mc?

~/Downloads
~/Work
~/I have no idea what's in this folder because I haven't been here since i"ve installed the system

That standard XDG user dirs (Music, Downloads, Documents, etc.)
Also 'Misc' and 'bin'.

Not OP.
Ranger and MC are very different. MC is more feature rich, it's Emacs. And ranger is very minimalistic and does only one job - manages files, it's Vi (it even has the same keybindings). Ranger has an ability to preview images, though (which is more comfortable to do in a fully graphical file manager anyway).

Okay. I like the feature mc has, but I was just wondering if ranger was any better. Thanks for the answer.

├── bin
├── dl
├── git
└── tmp

I just use the default (~/Downloads/, ~/Documents/, ~/Pictures/, ~/Videos/, ~/Music/, ), but added ~/Games/.

Why would movies and other media be in your home directory?
They belong in a shared folder on a different drive.


This.
Everything gets backed up in my home directory, downloads, and desktop.
once a year I run a series of commands like "mv *.jpg /mnt/.../a sort" and it all gets dumped into that clusterfuck.
movies and music actually do get sorted though.

Why are you using a file manager when you already have a terminal? I don't understand.
