It’s changeable so I don’t really mind but I hate the XDG default data dirs used by most OSs. Uppercase feels out of place, organizing things based on mine type (ex. “Video”) feels wrong, and wtf is a “Desktop”.

same, I just delete all these dirs and use ~/downloads for everything. If I need a file for more than a couple of hours, it goes somewhere it makes sense, not to a generic dumpster like “Documents”.

Been downloading most things to /tmp for years and it was a great decision.
By the time you’ve extracted, built a binary, picked out what you wanted and put it somewhere sensible, or just realized it won’t do what you need, all that’s left over is cruft that gets wiped on the next boot.
