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.

Source goes in ~/Source and gets checked into git, important stuff goes into ~/Documents and (when I get around to setting it up) gets backed up somewhere, downloads go into ~/Downloads
Otherwise, stuff gets dumped in home and I use fzf, grep and jump to get around quickly
Whole system gets wiped and rebuilt when it gets to cluttered, anything I care about persisting is kept somewhere else and nixos puts my system back
I think organising more than the bare minimum is a constant waste of time when search tools exist
