SO MUCH. Now my standard procedure is to just make a “_My_Documents” folder within Documents, so I can know where the files are that I put there myself.
(Leading underscore pops it to the top of the list alphabetically)
I remember some Windows versions had a Games folder for all that, saved games, etc…but it seems very few games actually decided to use it lol.
.hidden file became my best friend - and a little context menu script for dolphin to easily add a file / folder to that .hidden is a thing i use way too often tbh
And I also don’t want programs to throw all their crap in the documents folder. AppData is made for that.

~/.config :>
And now show hiddrn files and you see the plethora of applications that dump everything in your homedir instead of .config
Hint for KDE folks: Ctrl + h toggles hidden visibility. Makes navigating lots easier. :D
Same in thunar (the xfce file manager)
Awesome! Thunar is legit. 😁
Its even worse when they dont make it a hidden folder (looking at you android studio)
yup…

That annoys the fuck out of me. I want the folders I put in /home, not your shit. Put it in /.local or something and fuck off.
