It would be a default on almost every distro that follows XDG specifications to have stuff like Downloads, Pictures, Videos in the
$HOME
folder. One of the first things I do as part of an installation is to modify~/.config/user-dirs.dirs
and set a specific folder, say/data/downloads
or~/downloads
, for every XDG base directory.
