@jaredbusch said in How to change your user folder locations with Cinnamon or Gnome 3:

As someone upvoted this post recently, I thought I would circle back. I am using simlinks in all my Fedora systems now.

This just never worked exactly as advertised. It mostly worked, but never completely.

I also use symbolic link with Linux and Windows too. For Windows, it keeps me from messing with the default user shell folders / shell folders path or the need to move the locations. And with Linux, I don't have to mess with the user-dirs.dirs file.
