This exactly. It feels like everything gets thrown in documents and then it just becomes one big mess. Game saves, coding projects. I’ve even seen some apps put their configs in Documents.

I wish more icon packs had these sort of additional icons.

I wish there were a few more default home directories like games and books. It would make me much more likely to use them overall.

You don’t need to install it to try it. Many distros will let you try the os while it is booted off of the usb. Ofc this doesn’t give you all the functionality and you won’t be able to save data. But you will at least see the performance is better.

If you are looking to get it or try linux gaming in general then I would recommend looking at heroic games launcher which supports games from epic, gog, and Amazon. Past that there is always a huge list of other games (and applications) available for install from lutris’ website. And bottles for specific things, but that is a bit more advanced/nuanced to setup.
