So, I have been testing out a few distro’s lately after deciding to move away from arch. I have noticed, though, that every time I install a new system (latest one being NixOS) with btrfs, I get symlinks of my home folder in my Documents folder.

It’s really kind of odd. I haven’t tried with ext4, yet. Is this a known issue?

I am not entirely sure why I thought it was something to do with the filesystem. It’s just weird.

I found that if I put, say, a text file in Documents then log out and back in, those symlinks show up.

Ah well. so long as nothing breaks, it’s not that bad.

Shit, just linux.

Use this community for anything related to linux for now, if it gets too huge maybe there will be some sort of meme/gaming/shitpost spinoff. Currently though… go nuts
