Shit, just linux.

Use this community for anything related to linux for now, if it gets too huge maybe there will be some sort of meme/gaming/shitpost spinoff. Currently though… go nuts

So, I have been testing out a few distro's lately after deciding to move away from arch. I have noticed, though, that every time I install a new system (latest one being NixOS) with btrfs, I get symlinks of my home folder in my Documents folder.

It's really kind of odd. I haven't tried with ext4, yet. Is this a known issue?

I am not entirely sure why I thought it was something to do with the filesystem. It's just weird.

I found that if I put, say, a text file in Documents then log out and back in, those symlinks show up.

Ah well. so long as nothing breaks, it's not that bad.
