I must admit I'm a bit horrified by the number of new hidden roots you're suggesting to create (not only you duplicate classic / topdirs but you also enshrine stuff like fonts that doesnt exist on the system root). My proposal would be simple : 1. use a single or at most two-three top-level dirs in ~ (etc and the rest) 2. at this point you can probably not hide them since they won't result in too much clutter 3. do not try to keep current dotfiles/dotdirs in your spec but move them to your clean file layout As far as I know current $HOME clutter is what's keeping some people from using it as their desktop (even though that the natural unix way). Cleaning up the mess would certainly help there. A good point is the way you follow / FHS layout instead of reinventing yet another convention. Anyway - I'm pleased to see someone working on this ! Most people seem to have given up on ever cleaning up the home legacy dotfile mess. Regards, -- Nicolas Mailhot
