If you are using a rolling release distro like Arch, you might have noticed that your home directory now has a new member, a new folder called "Projects".

For as long as I remember, Linux has always had a set of default folders under the home directory. Usually they are Documents, Music, Pictures, Videos and Downloads. Templates, Desktop and Public folders are also there.

Now we have a new addition in the form of "Projects".

I'm on Artix Linux and it did automatically create it after an update.

It likely just runs xdg-user-dirs-update which, in my experience, doesn't delete anything if the folder is already there (the command just changed the folder icon in the file manager when I used to run it on a WM).
