minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink88•2 years agoYes, but this is the default on many distros, so for once the end user is not to blame
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink41•2 years agoEven worse, many components will ignore the XDG_DOWNLOAD_DIR var so even if you manually change it to $HOME/downloads (lower-case) it will often break things.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink3•2 years agoWhy not just cd $XDG_DOWNLOAD_DIR in the first place?
minus-squareunalivejoylinkfedilinkEnglish2•edit-22 years agoThat’s not an environment variable. It’s defined in ${XDG_CONFIG_HOME:-$HOME/.config}/user-dirs.dirs. Though you can use the xdg-user-dir DOWNLOAD command to get it automatically.

minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink25•2 years agoSomething something symlink Downloads to downloads
