  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.

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

    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
