No - that is what Ubuntu does and I do not want an Ubuntu clone OS.

I like $HOME/bin as it is and please do not change that - if you do I will have to ln -s ~.local/bin ~/bin on a few dozen machines all over the world.

That is where I put all users specific executables

As far as I can tell there is no .local/bin on any of my openSUSE systems (most are updates from zypper dups since release 41)

There is no $HOME/.local/bin  in the PATH - here iswhat all my machines show:

PATH=/home/user/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/lib/mit/sbin

Hi.

I would like to propose the removal of the $HOME/bin directory from the default setup. It clutters the user's home in exchange for very little gain in some very specific individual workflows.

For those who need an easy and user-oriented directory in $PATH, $HOME/.local/bin is already configured by default.

What do you think?

Best regards,
