  Yes, but this is the default on many distros, so for once the end user is not to blame

    Even worse, many components will ignore the XDG_DOWNLOAD_DIR var so even if you manually change it to $HOME/downloads (lower-case) it will often break things.

      Something something symlink Downloads to downloads

        Yeah but the main issue is that I don’t want there to be a Downloads directory in my home.

      ln -s ~/Downloads ~/downloads

        This is all fun and games until you try moving a backup to a file system that’s case-insensitive

      Why not just cd $XDG_DOWNLOAD_DIR in the first place?

        That’s not an environment variable. It’s defined in $XDG_CONFIG_DIR/xdg-user.dirs

  Lower case directories?

  Eww

    If a directory has multiple words in it I usually do kebab case: i-like-mine-in-a-way-i-can-read-them-properly. Both easier to read and type than pascal case.

    For more complex filenames I use a combination of kebab-case and snake_case, where the underscore separates portions of the file name and kebab-case the parts of those portions. E.g. movie-title_release-date-or-year_technical-specifications.mp4

  Do. none of you use case insensitive autocomplete? “do ” “Downloads”
