scripts/- binaries that make life easier
config/- where main configuration files are stored
notes/- a glob of personal notes, articles and ideas
docs/- books, documents, articles from multiple sources
media/- pictures, videos, music, etc.
fonts/- in case someones asks for it
private/- i can’t say it, it’s a secret
I recommend to use the same folder structure as the main directory, and use it for private stuff like passwords, ssh keys, etc. and use it on quick example:
ssh/- your .ssh keys (make sure it’s encrypted)
gpg/- your .gpg keys (make sure it’s encrypted)
notes/- Journal, intrusive thoughts, this kind of thing. (depending on what is inside, make sure it’s also encrypted)
media/- Definetly not pirated movies, music, etc.
|_ books/- books
Isn’t always that I’ll be using X11, and also the xdg\_ part would mess with the naming convention (all lowercase, no symbols)
