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.
Keep filling those bugs and stop complaining on random forums, kids
Porque no los dos?
Why not just
cd $XDG_DOWNLOAD_DIR
in the first place?That’s not an environment variable. It’s defined in
${XDG_CONFIG_HOME:-$HOME/.config}/user-dirs.dirs
.Though you can use the
xdg-user-dir DOWNLOAD
command to get it automatically.
