      Even 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.

        Keep filling those bugs and stop complaining on random forums, kids

          Yeah but the main issue is that I don’t want there to be a Downloads directory in my home.

          This is all fun and games until you try moving a backup to a file system that’s case-insensitive

          That’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.
