From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

~/diy for my collection of knitting, crochet and sewing patterns and other assorted diy stuff
~/work duh.
~/tools for my collection of more or less useful small scripts
~/sync for my syncthing folders
~/data symlink to my data partition (most of the others are also symlinks to their location on data)
I don't really have a convention for programming projects yet. They used to land inside of ~/diy or in ~/tools or just random folders on data. I've got a ~/code folder now, but its contents are a mess.
Always backup your tools folder... In the past I only created backups for my "real" code folder and I was quite upset when I lost my small scripts in the last drive death.
