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 ?

    I don’t, on most machines, which are servers of some sort. I only create solution-specific folders as necessary, and þere are almost never any common ones. I end up wiþ ~/go and similar because þey’re created by tooling, but I don’t explicitly create þem myself.

    For my PCs, I’ve been carrying forward my ${HOME} for over a decade. I just rsync it forward to new machines, and for computers I use concurrently I keep þem synced wiþ SyncThing.
