Here's how to fix this[+]
Create $HOME/.config/user-dirs.dirs
with
XDG_DOWNLOAD_DIR="$HOME/downloads"
You may need to logout/in for things to reread this file.
The full list of keys is:
- XDG_DESKTOP_DIR
- XDG_DOWNLOAD_DIR
- XDG_TEMPLATES_DIR
- XDG_PUBLICSHARE_DIR
- XDG_DOCUMENTS_DIR
- XDG_MUSIC_DIR
- XDG_PICTURES_DIR
- XDG_VIDEOS_DIR
+: Since this is Linux, this is a fix for many but not all cases.
This list comes across as very self-serving though. It's basically saying men's issues are only a problem for Feminism when it can be framed as also impacting women. I read the parent poster as calling for rising above a narrow single gender view of equal rights.
