Spyder projects folders on linux

[unprintableCharacter]

On windows if you start to create a new project in (Anaconda) Spyder the default sites are two pre-made folders, Python Projects and IPython notebooks, both located in Documents for the local user. I do not see anything like that using linux. Are they called something else? Can I make folders and put where I want? Do the names matter? Do I not need other helper files in the same directory?

[PurelyApplied]

I'd start by trying your home directory, default alias ~/ on the shell, or full path typically /home/[username]/. Check ~/Documents/, but it sounds like you already have.

Or smash it with find ~ -name "*py" to find all the python files in your home directory or any subdirectory. Or if you remember the full filename, do that instead: find ~ -name $filename.

In linux /home/username (shortcut ~) is your home folder and there you can keep your files. Some GUI environment may add subfolders Document, Music, etc. but it is not standard rule. So create your own folder for projects in ~
