The only things in my home directory (note: I use Windows, but the convention still applies) are stuff that demand to be in there, like savegame files and software like Discord which demand to reside in %appdata% or else.

My stuff are found literally everywhere but, usually in their own drives and partitions.



Same. I’ve relinquished control over all the OS-provided directories to Adobe and Microsoft and go and whatever else assumes I want its crap in those locations.

Above someone jokes about just putting everything in Desktop, but honestly, it’s what realistically winds up happening. I can’t be bothered to manage files myself, really. Mostly, the apps I use know where their things are, I have a rudimentary system for archiving finished work, and the rest I can handle with search.

I’m just not in any way geared to be a file clerk or self librarian. Fortunately I have a machine that is very good at those things
