I realized I always make a source folder under home and then subfolders named after programming languages to organize projects but then I realized I somehow had my own convention for how to store my source code and I have no idea where I got it from

Then I thought. what about other Linux users ?

What sorts of conventions do you have that pertains to folder structure in Linux ?

    I generally follow the same pattern as you. ~/Code with programming language based sub folders. But there’s also a ~/Code/Work and ~/Code/Orgs which is for code that has a certain purpose. Generally the by-language subfolders are for projects I cloned, not authored. There is a fair amount of symlinking also.

    Also /data for long term storage drives. Directories under ~/Audio and ~/Video will usually symlink to there.
