Think about it from user experience perspective. If you ask to a non technical user what a directory named Documents mean, they will not have problem to explain. Then try to ask what a directory named bin in their user home mean. I agree that some default desktop directories are annoying. Does anyone use the Template directory? Em 06/03/2025 02:23, David C.

Yes, some people think that ~/bin pollutes the users home directory (but all the crappy, useless directories created by Desktops not) and removed it from the skel directory.
My prod tumbleweed hosts + VMs are happy about the change (small as it is) + no Desktop stuff polluting various developer homedirs there. Makes the ugly shit their beloved vscode drops, stand out better :-)

For what it is worth, using SuSE/openSUSE for 20+ years I always considered ~/bin a welcomed "feature" and not pollution in any way. I'd much rather have that functionality that Documents, Downloads, Pictures, Media, Videos, etc...
I'll create and re-add and re-add to skel.
